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.

Penny_2One 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.
