Sean Henry is an English artist who is famous the world over for his figures of large dimensions. The artist, in the 1990s, dedicated himself to large sculptures, preferring to depict ordinary people who were engaged in common, everyday acts, engaging in a work of psychological introspection on the character.
The works are made in bronze and are painted in the artist’s London studio with special paints for ships. The photos are courtesy of the artist seanhenry.com
