Hyper-Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan
Hyper-Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan
American artist Marc Sijan carries on the tradition of a very old form, but his approach is very modern. In particular, his realism recalls the work of the Greek sculptors in its bold expression of human energy and poise. Nevertheless, Sijan is not necessarily celebrating the ideal form. His figures are more gritty, more natural — a tribute to real people. Besides, Sijan’s work is similar to that of fellow artists Duane Hansen and John DeAndrea, who use lifelike human figures to express elements of the human condition and human relationships. However, whereas his colleagues tend to express a kind of static existence, Sijan tries to capture a life force in full swing.
