Sean Henry — Man with Alter Ego
Sean Henry

Man with Alter Ego

A solitary bronze figure stands with quiet contemplation, his painted exterior rendered in Sean Henry's signature hyper-realistic style that blurs the boundary between sculpture and living presence. Encased within or alongside a painted wood and Plexiglas vitrine, the work introduces a secondary, interior self — an alter ego that exists in tension with the outer figure. Together, the materials and composition explore themes of identity, duality, and the hidden dimensions of the human psyche.
