William Hodd McElcheran

This humorous sculpture is part of The Businessman Series. The artist explained that his life-size figures, set on the ground, replace statues of classical heroes mounted on high pedestals.

About this work

Here, two businessmen, recognizable by their clothing and briefcases, are intently focused on each other. Their exchange seems more pointed than amicable. Leaning forward as he speaks, one man gestures emphatically, while his calm colleague tries to reassure him with a gentle touch to his arm.
