What is likeness? How do you achieve it? Simon Kogan recounts and experiment he did with his class where he distorted a photograph to accentuate certain features, demonstrating that creating an artistic portrait is not merely recording the facial features accurately.

About the Artist: Since immigrating to the U.S. in 1991, [Simon Kogan] has steadily risen to national prominence as a sculptor whose widely acclaimed work - monumental to miniature - reflects a bold, yet poetic pursuit of the archetypal and renders an ethereal quality highly resonant with the viewer. A Fellow of the National Sculpture Society, Simon Kogan has long shared his artistic passion through the teaching of sculpture, painting, anatomy and drawing in the U.S. and abroad.
