Houseago is one of the most significant sculptors working today, recognized for his often monumental works inspired by pop culture and film as well as styles ranging from Classicism to Cubism. Utilizing wood, clay, hessian, plaster, and bronze, Houseago crafts work that is raw and visceral, a powerful reminder of the significance of figurative art. His creations showcase an interest in traditional materials and techniques while exuding a distinctly contemporary feel. The sculptures maintain an unfinished appearance, with remnants of the creation process frequently visible, including indentations from the artist's tools and exposed metal rods.
