Not an easy question to answer based on those shots. Let me also say right up front that sculpture is not my background. It is a very diverse field and the galleries that do the best with it are ones that sell only sculpture.
The artist certainly shows a command of 3D space which is very important. Sculptural composition is vastly different from 2D mediums and the works are strong in that area. I dont think the content is going to win any awards. In so far as decorative art is concerned I could see some galleries showing it. I cant really imagine many fine art galleries showing interest however. And I make this point purely on style. The style is very trendy right now, and established galleries seldom get that way by taking risks on trends.
I would encourage the artist to however begin to price his work according to the area in which he sells. Until he establishes a following and base price for his work the value of the work will only be relative. Pricing ones work is the point which most artist fail miserably at.
