From MacNiderArt.org website:
Wisconsin artist Marc Sijan is known for his hyper-realistic figures that show the unique imperfections of the human body. The sculptures are so intricately crafted that, at first glance, people often assume the figures are alive. According to Sijan, he creates a negative mold of a live model in plaster, then “sculpts the interiorwith special tools and a magnifying glass to assure accurate detail.” He goes on to explain that after casting the form in polyester resin, over 20 coats of paint and a final layer of varnish are applied to create the sculpture’s realistic flesh tones. Learn more about Sijan’s technique and his background at www.marcsijan.com.

Marc Sijan: Being Alive features six life-sized sculptures, 10 wall-relief portraits, and two busts. The exhibition is funded in part with a grant from the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Dept. of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts; Alliant Energy Foundation; Principal Financial Group; and Visit Mason City.
