The artwork titled “HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT” was created by the artist Duane Hanson in 1992. This piece, a distinguished representation of the Hyper-Realism and Photorealism movements, belongs to the genre of sculpture.
The artwork portrays a high school student standing casually. The figure is characterized by strikingly lifelike features and meticulous detailing. The student is dressed in a vibrant, graphic t-shirt paired with patterned shorts, white socks, and worn-out sneakers. The student’s relaxed posture and the books held under the arm further accentuate the everyday, relatable nature of the subject. The precision with which the textures of the clothing, the hair, and the skin are depicted exemplifies the artistic skill and dedication to hyper-realism, making it a compelling and thought-provoking piece.
