W.W. Hung
Deliverance 3/5 - tall, bronze, balancing, nude, male figure, outdoor sculpture

2021

About the Item

The unique contemporary figurative sculptures of William Hung often express the human condition and are imbued with emotion. This striking piece, cast in a gleaming bronze depicts two male figures--one is nude and balanced upside down on the back of the other who kneels at a precipice. The precipice, constructed of stacked cinder blocks, increases the tension implied in this act of deliverance, of being set free. This sculpture may be installed indoors or outdoors. It is number 3 in an edition of 5. Available on a commission basis. Allow 4-5 months of completion before shipping. "When I sculpt, I am reminded of my own physicality… I, too, have a body composed of organic matter, malleable and ever-changing, bound by the laws of the physical world, and subject to aging and decay… There is an immediate empathy.” WW Hung Hung studied architecture at the University of Waterloo where he earned a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Architecture in 1997. After graduation, Hung relocated to New York City and practiced architecture there and in Toronto for a number of years. In 2004, he became a member of the American Institute of Architects. He also began creating sculptural works in a unique combination of the figurative and the abstract. In 2015, Hung joined the Sculptors Society of Canada. Hung’s work is held in private collections in Canada, France and the US.

  • Atleta 2 - La forma, nella penombra, trattiene la sua forza
    Located in Milano, IT
    These are figurative works, of classical or archaic inspiration, reinterpreted using strictly contemporary signs and communicative languages, decontextualized and transformed into decorative elements: bar codes, qr codes, wi-fi icons, @, symbols of well-known advertising campaigns, numbers / formulas, which combine to form the vision of a dystopian archeology of the future which bring the individual closer to goods or objects, traces of mechanical or computer elements, which testify to a reality, ours, which has already happened, already lived. It is like an eye on the archeology of a distant future, or on a contemporary discovery that indicates an end already seen, towards which we can move. The metal structures are supports that enter the composition and the aesthetic vision and communication of the topics covered. The "cages" at the same time constrain but support, they root to the ground but soar upwards, in a liberating tension. ATLETA 2 - LA FORMA...
