Mark Prent
Mark Prent (born Poland, 1947) is a Canadian sculptor and performance artist currently living in the United States best known for the graphic realism of his figurative sculpture. Prent's sculptures have been described as disturbing and even brutal.
His work was the subject of a 1972 lawsuit in which a gallery, exhibiting one of his works consisting of a butcher’s counter of human body parts, was charged with “exhibiting a disgusting object”.〔() utoronto.ca, Avrom Isaacs - Biography, Page 3〕 Prent was the subject of the 1976 documentary "If Brains Were Dynamite (Wouldn't Have Enough to Blow Your Nose ) - Mark Prent"〔(Internet Encyclopedia of Cinematographers - Thomas Burstyn )〕

Mark Prent works consist of life-moulded mixed media, polyester resin and fiberglass casts of human models in sometimes disturbing poses and juxpositions. Mark Prent has consistently maintained throughout the years, that his sculptures and installations do not carry intentional messages.〔 Despite the powerfully grotesque imagery that he has employed, interpretation is left to the viewer. Prent developed his own unique technique of layering to give a heightened realism to his figures; thus giving rise to the label "Extended Realism". When he later became concerned about the toxicity of polyester resin, he began to experiment with other materials, developing innovative techniques for recreating that trademark quality of virulent realism. This venture into new materials led him in many new directions in his own work and ultimately, to become a technical resource for other artists as well.
