Penny’s Larger Than Life Portraits

Posted by mandarific on Nov 25, 2009 in Featured Artists |

Evan Penny’s hyper-realistic sculptures bring an eerie addition to modern silicon work – at first glance the photos of his work appear to be real people, often in a naked state, but then you can tell it’s something more – these works are often as tall as or taller than the artist himself and a real sight to see.

Many typically think of sculpture and picture welded steel rods or carefully chiseled marble, but not Penny’s work. Instead he brings the human image in it’s rawest form to larger-than-life design that makes you think twice. And as if these weren’t mind blowing enough, he also has a series of “warped” pieces that mimic the result of a photoshopped image – only six feet tall and three dimensionally.

One could stare at his portfolio for hours – and why wouldn’t you want to? The impeccable detail makes it seem as if you’re browsing a live photo gallery of real persons. Looking to see more? Check out his website at http://www.evanpenny.com for a truly unique sculptural experience.
