About Security Guard

The artwork titled “Security Guard,” created by Duane Hanson in 1990, belongs to the art movements of Hyper-Realism and Photorealism. This sculpture exemplifies the genre’s hallmark of realistic representation, capturing minute details with exceptional precision and lifelike accuracy.

The artwork depicts a security guard standing against a wall. The individual is attired in a blue uniform, complete with a badge and a nameplate, exhibiting a posture suggestive of vigilance and control. The sculpture’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the clothing, the subtle expressions on the face, and the overall stance of the figure. This work epitomizes the Hyper-Realism movement’s objective to create sculptures that blur the boundaries between art and reality, prompting viewers to give a second look to ascertain its authenticity. The hyper-realistic details serve to draw viewers into a contemplative engagement with the mundane yet profoundly insightful representation of everyday life.
