His Boy Soldier series confronts the viewer with something profoundly dissonant: a child's face, rendered with hyper-realist precision, placed in the context of armed conflict. The work does not illustrate a position. It holds the contradiction open and asks the viewer to sit with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePanel Boy Soldier | Prototype is a work of particular historical significance within Schoony's career: this is the original prototype from which the subsequent editions were developed. As the first execution of the concept — the work in which the artist resolved the formal and technical decisions that all subsequent versions followed — it occupies a unique position in the series. Prototypes in sculpture are analogous to unique impressions or artist's proofs in printmaking: primary works from which multiples derive, and therefore the most historically significant objects in any given series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable through Creed Gallery, Ascot.
