The mainspring of Anna Gillespie‘s sculpture is the human figure. “The human form has its own language that goes beyond words, borders, cultures and time.”

Before art, there was carving… The distance between the ‘waste’ and the ‘art’ is often the thickness of a saw blade.

Interesting 3D sculptural works created by German artist Martin Senn. From afar these pieces look almost like line drawings.

Troubled by Something

LelaMay — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:15:14 +0000

Sculptures that provoke strong feelings to the people. What’s the intention behind this? They transmit the awareness of becoming adults and thus losing their ability to be able to “hear” their unconscious.

“Do you think that any form of art is in its core autobiographical? Which part of your own experiences is reflected in your work?
Absolutely. I have always sought answers through studying and reading to what I remember as the most difficult and mysterious moments of my childhood. More often than not, however, I have found the answers to my doubts in the history of my ancestors. In this way, I like to think that the internal dialogues I had as a child were not in total solitude but were a form of conversation with another world. “

If Gehard’s sculptures don’t strike a nerve, you probably don’t have a pulse!

Plastic Bag Sculptures

LelaMay — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:49:35 +0000

There has been stone age, bronze age, terracotta age… now, we are living through the plastic age. These are trash-bag plastic sculptures-a series of human images with missing body parts created by Pakistani artist, Khalil Chishtee. Why plastic bags??? It is the right matter form for the artist to express his feelings about the world and the situations around him. It is a really creative way to convert plastic bags into art wracked with emotion.

”Plastic, whatever shape and colour we give it, it will remain plastic. Similarly, we may change our religion and nationality, give them a new name, but we shall remain the same human beings that we are. And it is important to remain that way.”

Charming Sculptures

Mike Stilkey is giving the books a new lease of life, bringing out the whimsical possibilities of the stories within. His book sculptures allow these narratives to be experienced with added volume: by stacking vintage discarded books to create a three-dimensional canvas, the work becomes both painting and sculpture

Chain Sculptures

LelaMay — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:48:47 +0000

Using tightly knit configurations of welded bicycle chains and industrial steel chains, the Koran artist Seo Young Deok created these fantastic sculptures. Actually the chains are a metaphor for the human condition today. The detail of each body and face seem to have been impossibly contoured using such materials.
