{"product_id":"evan-penny-evan-penny-9788857235592","title":"Evan Penny: Ask Your Body","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest sculptures from South African-born, Toronto-based artist Evan Penny (born 1953) are rooted in his longstanding interest in the human body and how viewers perceive their relationship with themselves and others. While Penny has expanded his sculptural repertoire by openly referencing art from other eras, \u003ci\u003eAsk Your Body\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the visceral manner in which viewers experience the works. The sculptures, several of which are monumentally scaled, can be described as meditations on the many conditions of being human: aspiring to be godlike and failing (\"Marsyas\"); the body subjected to the sacrifices and indignities of life on earth (\"Homage to Holbein\"); having one's body regarded as fragmented and dislocated (\"Hanging Torso\" and \"Self Portrait after Géricault's \u003ci\u003eFragments Anatomiques\u003c\/i\u003e\"); and creating empathy through the imagined history of the artist's life, as represented by a fictional period from the past (\"Young Self\") and from the future (\"Old Self\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evan Penny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8857235599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857235592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Evan Penny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136556810495,"sku":"9788857235592","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63152020-9c3d-4d3b-955d-a9836a7ecba7.jpg?v=1755023708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evan-penny-evan-penny-9788857235592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
