When we look at the most magnificent structures in the world, from the Eiffel Tower to St. Peter's in Rome, from pyramids and medieval castles to skyscrapers - can we name just one of the builders of these wonders? Anonymity reigns over history, the veil of anonymity hides from us the faces and names of millions of beauty creators. The exhibition of sculptures by the British master Sean Henry reminds us of this: small people in front of the great Salisbury Cathedral.
Sean Henry (Sean Henry) is a very famous modern English sculptor. He was born in 1965, and in 1988 he already held his first solo exhibition. Sean Henry's work can be seen in galleries in Europe, America and Australia. The sculptor uses scale creatively, almost always avoiding life-size frames; he seeks to compose his works into a certain "plot", subjecting them to a theme or main idea.
This thought, which inspired him to exhibit in Salisbury, was the perpetuation anonymity … "I hope that my sculptures of unknown people will become a memory of the everyday presence of a person in this Cosmos," shares Sean Henry. That is why the exhibition is called " Fusion: Union of Holiness and AnonymitySean Murray's creations, designed to perpetuate the very Obscurity, are filled to the brim with symbolic meaning.
The character of the composition "The Man with the Cup" solemnly, like a saint, lifts up to the sky … no, not the Holy Grail, but a coffee cup. And here is a successful broker who lay down to rest on a briefcase with papers - in a business suit, but for some reason barefoot. Or simply "Sitting Man" - such deep questions were imprinted on his face that the lawn seemed to bend under their weight.
Anonymous sculptures by Sean Murray, numbering about twenty, are located around the entire perimeter of the cathedral - sitting, standing, lying, walking somewhere, or even taking a place on the wall next to medieval bas-reliefs. The exhibition began on July 22nd and will run until October 31st - enough for the eternal Human anonymity was understood and appreciated by the audience.

Sculptures of birds and animals from broken CDs. Original artwork by Sean Avery
Australian sculptor Sean Avery still buys CDs in stores in bulk, in large quantities. Why does he prefer them to flash drives and external HDDs? Sean is a creative person, and creative people are weird. The sculptor not only buys discs, but also breaks them into small pieces to then turn the fragments into figurines of birds, animals and insects
