    "This is a sculpture of serenity and hope. There are no endings, only new beginnings and possibility for nurture and evolution. There is always hope and light that follows even the darkest of times."

Notes
Schoony exploded onto the London art scene in 2008, thanks to an extensive street art installation composed of his hyper-realistic plastic sculptures. Often figural, his leitmotif of a shirtless boy soldier wears an oversized military helmet, constructed by extensive life-casting techniques in a variety of different mediums, including plastic, bronze, and gold. Schoony’s imagery incorporates themes of commercialism, violence, and kitsch into its content, exploring contemporary Western society’s detached relationship to warfare.

Accolades

Since the age of fifteen he has worked on over a hundred films in cinematic special effects, including Harry Potter, Gladiator, Where the Wild Things Are, Saving Private Ryan, and Star Wars just to name a few.
