'Reclining Figure' is a work within the 'Deodorant Type' series that most directly calls upon the tradition of sculpture. The artist constructs the three-dimensional form by photographing a figure from 360 degrees, cutting out the developed images, and attaching them to a Styrofoam structure, resulting in a shape that recalls a classical reclining sculpture. While adopting the format of traditional figurative sculpture, the work leads the viewer to reconsider the method of sculptural construction through the medium of photography.
 
The title 'Reclining Figure' is a format that has been repeatedly explored in twentieth-century sculpture and was in a particular a representative subject through which Henry Moore experimented with bodily volume, internal space, and the tension of mass. If Moore’s reclining figures investigated the essence of sculpture through material density, gravity, and the relationship of interior space, Gwon’s reclining figure calls upon that traditional format while intersecting the flatness of photography and the three-dimensionality of sculpture within a single body, thereby posing questions on a different level.
 
'Reclining Figure' borrows a traditional sculptural form while dismantling its physical conditions, and shifts sculpture from an art of form and mass to an art of surface and image. When the classical reclining figure is presented not as a permanent mass of material but as a lightweight sculpture composed of images, 'Reclining Figure' once again questions the boundary between reality and image at the point where classical sculpture and contemporary art intersect.
