Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. No One ? In Particular is a grouping of twice life-size sculptures that are imaginary portraits constructed to look like ordinary people but with larger parts of the body, accentuating the variability in the human form. 52 pages; exhibition catalog (9 September - 29 October, 2005) with color illustrations. Essay by David Moos, artist chronology. Evan Penny makes sculptures of human forms out of silicone, pigment, hair and aluminum saying his interest is to situate the sculptures perceptually between the way we might see each other in real time and space and the way we imagine our equivalent in a photographic representation. Though his creations are lifelike, Penny believes that the real can't be represented or symbolized.

Hardcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. Condizione sovraccoperta: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z ; 176 pages, 23 x 30 cm - Canadian artist Evan Penny (born 1953) makes the kind of sculpture that is so realistic, so detailed and so plainly a demonstration of virtuoso ability that it can literally stop people in their tracks. Modeled with tremendous craftsmanship in aluminium, silicone, epoxy resin and pigments, his freestanding nude figures and portrait heads invite the viewer to examine every fleshy imperfection and intimate crevice. The twist in this extreme realism is their anamorphically skewed perspective, so that what appears to be a conventionally dimensioned figure from one angle turns out to be wildly distorted from another. Penny uses electronic image editing and 3D scanning to create these effects, which transform an initial experience of ultra-realism into a vertiginous encounter massively mediated by artifice and technology. This volume surveys Penny's sculptural works of the past three decades.
