High Relief Scultping

High relief scultping would probably be my favorite type of relief scultiping mainly because of how it plays with perspective and depth on a mostly 2-demesional plane. It immitates the look and feel of a massive 3D sculputure and in some pieces it is. It puts a limit on how the sculpture can be made, but also allows for interesting usage of the wall or block it's made on.

Alexander Cadler



Alexander Cadler is sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to art. He does works in painting, drawing, sculpting, even a little bit of preforming. He is most widely known for his innovative forms of art, like his 3D wire "drawings". Instead of the traditional style of pen to paper, Cadler uses wire to sculpt drawing like pieces of people and animals.

Cadler was also very innovative in larger scaled pieces such as his work with mobiles. The first of there kind, the mobiles take the idea of sculptures only being still works of art and throwing that away. These mobiles were made to have balance throughout the entire structure, and had the ability to move by push of a person or by the air.

Sara's various cat sculptures


Cats are pretty cool. Cat sculptures are also pretty cool. Probably even cooler than most cats, especially these cat sculptures made by Sara Wagner, or BrutalSun. Now, I'm not really the biggest fan of cats, we never really got off on the right foot, or paw, and I'm also very allergic to most if not all cats. However, these cats are just a little more than just cats. These cats are characters. They are just puuring (like pouring) out with detail and it's just delightful to imagine the cool little cat like adventures they'd go on.

This one gets extra points because I love pirates. Nothing feels out of place in these pieces.cat-figurines-polymer-clay-brutal-sun-1This one is my favorite. It's a bounty hunter cat, with a post apocalyptic vibe.cat-figurines-polymer-clay-brutal-sun-9
