Evan Penny-creating his hyper real sculptures.

Monday 6 September 2010

Evan Penny

Age spots, wrinkles, and every detail of a face are featured in the work of Toronto artist Evan Penny.
He generally produces head-and-shoulders busts larger than life size, and implants each hair one strand at a time while creating his sculptures.
Like Mueck, Penny has an extensive background in special effects for film, and his effects have been featured in X-Men and Johnny Mnemonic.
Evan Penny makes the kind of sculpture that is so realistic, so detailed, and so obviously a display of skill that it literally stops people in their tracks. But this alone isn't why the artist's work grabs the viewer.
