This impressive giant painted bronze figure by Sean Henry has been installed in Galway for the upcoming Galway International Arts Festival. Photo via RTE
“Sean Henry makes detailed and life-like sculptures of anonymous figures, often in casual poses and deep in thought. They are usually based on members of the public or actors, and scaled either up or down, so they are never actually life sized. Seated Figure is a monumental 3 metres tall. The artist uses clay to model his works in the studio, before they are cast in bronze.” Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Update: I did a cartoon.
Sean Henry’s Seated Figure will be temporarily joining the permanent metal denizens of Galway, the Oscar Wilde & Eduard Vilde Statue, the Statue of Pádraic Ó Conaire, the Galway Girl Statue, and the abstract but no less iconic Quincentennial Fountain, until the end of the Galway Arts Festival.
Looking forward to getting up close and personal with this enigmatic piece next time I’m in town!
