The sculpture

Sculpture is one of the most diverse, fascinating and varied art forms in Western art. From the gigantic sculpted pieces of ancient Greece to the abstract sculptures of contemporary art, from the figurines of prehistoric civilizations to the kinetic sculptures of the 20th century, this art is as diverse as it is intriguing. 4

Sculptural art began in the Upper Paleolithic with a small figure known as the Löwenmensch. It is considered to be over 40,000 years old. Sculpture can be made with most 3D modular materials. Here are the four main procedures of this art over the centuries: rock cutting, wood carving, metal sculpture casting and ceramic modulation.

Wood sculpture

What is wood sculpture?

Wood carving is a manual activity consisting of working wood to give it a certain shape. The principle is then to remove material using different tools: chisel, wood chisels, gouge, hammer, mallet, etc.

The practice of wood sculpture is very old. However, since Greco-Roman Antiquity, the use of wood in sculpture has been perceived as less noble than other materials such as bronze, marble, etc. Works in wood were thus considered popular and cheap.

Wooden sculptures are also more fragile and difficult to preserve. It is partly for this reason that ancient and medieval statues made from wood are often covered in several colors.

Description
"Elégance Boisée" est une sculpture exceptionnelle représentant une Air Jordan originale Chicago 1985, soigneusement taillée dans le bois avec une attention méticuleuse aux détails. Cette œuvre unique repose avec grâce sur un piétement en pierre, ajoutant une touche de stabilité et d'ancrage à cette création artistique. La fusion du bois chaleureux et de la pierre solide évoque une harmonie entre l'histoire emblématique de la chaussure et la nature intemporelle des matériaux utilisé.
