Schoony is a versatile British sculptor renowned for his work in both the commercial and artistic realms. His impressive career began in the world of cinematic special effects when he was just 15 years old, and over the span of 25 years, he contributed his talents to over 100 films. Notable among his film credits are iconic productions such as Harry Potter, Gladiator, and Where the Wild Things Are, where he excelled as a prosthetics and makeup artist.

In 2008, Schoony catapulted into the art world's limelight through an extensive street art installation featuring his hyper-realistic plastic casts. His primary focus in fine art sculpture leans towards the figurative, exemplified by his most recognizable motif—a shirtless boy soldier adorned with an oversized military helmet. Employing meticulous life-casting techniques, Schoony brings his creations to life using an array of materials, including plastic, bronze, and even gold.

Schoony's artistic narrative delves into themes such as consumerism, violence, and kitsch, offering an introspective commentary on the contemporary Western society's often detached relationship with the concept of warfare. Born in 1974 in Hertfordshire, England, he continues to reside and create his compelling art in the United Kingdom, leaving an indelible mark on the global art scene.
