Working in a similar ‘hyper-realistic’ sculptural style to Ron Mueck, Canadian artist Evan Penny examines the terrain between the real and the replica and our susceptibility to perceive the photograph as a source of authentic information. Oddly, the closer one gets to this work, the closer one looks at the details of Penny’s work, the more real it appears. Penny constructs molds for the silicone by modeling clay by hand, a technique he also uses as an artist who makes props for movies.
