Figurative, Portrait and Surrealist Sculpture Styles
Sculpture is a fantastic three-dimensional form of art. Sculpted works are made from the four basic processes of modelling, carving, casting and constructing, and the styles used by artists range from portrait, figurative and surrealist.
A portrait sculpture captures a representation of a human, and the expression and face are the main focus. The sculpture will display the personality, likeness and even the mood of the person. In the Roman era, the style flourished and the portrait sculptor was seriously in demand. Sitters demanded realistic images (even if they were unflattering). The style retreated in the 4th century, giving way to an idealized symbol of what a person looked like, but it returned in Europe during the late middle ages.
Portrait sculpture is among the oldest and most enduring of arts and the technical aspect of capturing a likeness continues to absorb and fascinate artists. Portrait busts capture a transcendent likeness and they range in mood from different perspectives and lighting. They are a tradition with which we have immortalised our heroes and continue to do so to this day.
Figurative sculpture describes works that are clearly derived from real object sources (particularly the human form). The term "figurative art" is often taken to mean art that represents the human figure, or sometimes even an animal figure. Figurative art is based upon a deep understanding of abstracted shapes. The great figurative sculptor is the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti who is famous for his elongated statues.
Surrealism stems from André Breton's early 1920s cultural and revolutionary movement. It developed out of the activities of Dada in World War I and the centre was in Paris. Surrealist works aim to reveal the unconscious and reconcile it with the conscious. They typically feature the element of surprise and the unexpected, letting the artist run wild with their imagination.
Many sculptors are happy using all three styles and many different mediums such as Buckinghamshire sculptor Andrew Sinclair, whose work can be seen in country homes, on city desks, ocean liners and in public spaces.
