Adam Beane

I came across Adam Beane’s work today. He is a sculptor…and he is very good.  His work is small and generally commissioned. But his portfolio is amazing. Take 3-4 minutes and check out the detail and stunning accuracy of his work. I was particularly struck by two of his pieces: President Obama and Evangeline Lilly. The likeness of Obama was commissioned by Esquire magazine. It depicts the President mid-stride and waving. However, the detailed accuracy of his face is uncanny. Even the details of his hands…it is astounding really. Now on to Evangeline Lilly. Most of us know her as “Kate” on the suspense (and sometimes odd) series of “LOST”. She’s also been on a few make-up commercials of late and I’ve seen some older reels of her on a late night “call-in-date-line” from years ago. (No…not a stalker…just happened upon them.) Nonetheless, the look he captured in his piece is straight out of LOST. It’s that confused/concerned look that she gives whenever she is looking for Jack, Sawyer or Claire. It is also that look she gives to Locke when he starts talking about leaving the island….
