While Penny has expanded his sculptural repertoire by openly referencing art from other eras, \u003ci\u003eAsk Your Body\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the visceral manner in which viewers experience the works. The sculptures, several of which are monumentally scaled, can be described as meditations on the many conditions of being human: aspiring to be godlike and failing (\"Marsyas\"); the body subjected to the sacrifices and indignities of life on earth (\"Homage to Holbein\"); having one's body regarded as fragmented and dislocated (\"Hanging Torso\" and \"Self Portrait after Géricault's \u003ci\u003eFragments Anatomiques\u003c\/i\u003e\"); and creating empathy through the imagined history of the artist's life, as represented by a fictional period from the past (\"Young Self\") and from the future (\"Old Self\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10.3 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 27, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089456845107,"sku":"9788857235592","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/N3_9twTFnf9788857235592.webp?v=1789591906","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/evan-penny-ask-your-body-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
