Hanson Duane

Art Brokerage: Duane Hanson American Artist: B. 1925-1996. Duane Hanson was an American post-modern sculptor known for his life-sized photorealistic works of humans, cast in various materials, including polyester resin, fiberglass, even Bondo®. Later works, starting in the mid-1980s, were cast in bronze. Most of his sculptures are direct three-dimensional casts of his models, a technique known as lifecasting. The surface of the cast is carefully painted in skin tones; he adds clothing, jewelry, and other props, lending to a trompe l'oeil or almost hyper-realistic effect. His works were often politically challenging. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
