About Deliverance 3/5
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
