Schoony

A Bubble

Schoony is a leading urban artist whose unique aesthetic and technical brilliance has brought the art world by storm. His hyper realistic sculptures question war, mortality and contemporary society.

His most iconic life cast sculpture “Boy Soldier” first unveiled outside the houses of parliament as an anti-war protest, is now a household name, featured in Hollywood blockbusters and collected internationally. Since then Schoony has experimented with many different themes, examining capitalism and pop culture, with his keen eye and technical ability Schoony remains one of the few artists working within the life-cast discipline.
