Sculpture
Sculpture brings form into physical space, shaped from materials like stone, metal, wood, clay, or nearly anything else an artist can carve, cast, weld, or mold into a lasting three dimensional piece. Unlike painting, sculpture has to work from every angle, which adds a level of difficulty painting does not have to deal with. This section gathers sculptors working across traditional carving and casting as well as more contemporary, experimental approaches to three dimensional art. Explore this section to see how artists use volume, texture, and balance to bring an idea fully into physical form.
