The Delaware Art Museum presents Ultra-Realistic Sculpture by Marc Sijan, oprn November 13, 2010 – January 16, 2011.
Marc Sijan creates incredibly lifelike figures, based on individuals he knows well. His interest goes beyond anatomy and anecdote, as he attempts to convey character and movement. The artist describes his goal: “I want to give it life so it doesn’t come off rigid. I’m trying to create energy and motion without showing a great deal of action, a natural, very fluid look. I’m making my art believable, it goes beyond the physical to the inner spirit and soul of the person.”
