Depending on the angle of view, this sculpture changes its appearance. In profile, it presents an expressionist figure sculpted from solid material; from the front, a face of ancient serenity; from the back, another face emerges with a different presence. This monumental head sculpture by Evan Penny is one of those works that one never tires of contemplating.
Evan Penny (born in 1953, South Africa/Canada) is one of the leading contemporary figurative sculptors: Venice Biennale 2017, traveling retrospective in Europe and North America, collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Hirshhorn Museum, and Crystal Bridges. This monumental work, a portrait of his own brother, was created for the lobby of a grand Parisian international hotel, where it stood for over thirty years above a reflecting pool, beneath a 21-meter glass atrium. Patinated resin with a bronze-like finish. Unique piece, not available in edition. Expertise from Maison Bartleby (Paris), continuous and documented provenance since 1992.
