Marc Sijan is a Milwaukee-based artist known for his superrealistic sculptures that pay homage to humanity's fascination with its own forms. Born in Serbia in 1946, Sijan received his B.A. and M.S. in art from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. His work is characterized by lifelike figures that seem on the verge of movement, capturing a life force in full swing. Sijan's sculptures are created using a meticulous process involving live models, plaster molds, and polyester resin, with up to 25 coats of paint to achieve realistic flesh tones. His work has been exhibited in over 40 one-man museum exhibitions across North America.
