Sean Henry — Man Lying on His Side
Sean Henry

Man Lying on His Side

A life-sized bronze figure of a man reclines on his side, rendered with striking naturalism through the application of exterior 2-pac paint that gives the sculpture a remarkably lifelike, flesh-toned appearance. Sean Henry's meticulous attention to the human form captures a moment of quiet stillness, the figure posed in an attitude of rest or contemplation. The work is presented on a base of veneered wood and Plexiglas, elevating the intimate subject and inviting viewers to engage closely with its compelling sense of presence.
