Nude Statue

[Hypoxia]

- renowned sculptor / artist known for male figure carving is actually powerful wizard or magician

For less fantasy and more SciFi-ism, the artiste is a Mad Genius who developed a machine to flash-freeze humans -- all except their brains (for consciousness) and genital systems (for fun). For drama, there's a Frankenstein Effect, with the victims thawing and turning on their tormentor. But lots of perverted action in between.
