Evan Penny

Evan Penny (born 1953, in South Africa) is a visual artist based in Toronto, Ontario.

Penny graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1978. He makes sculptures of human forms out of silicone, pigment, hair and aluminium saying his interest "is to situate the sculptures perceptually between the way we might see each other in real time and space and the way we imagine our equivalent in a photographic representation." Though his creations are lifelike, Penny believes that "the real can't be represented or symbolized."
