Sculptures

The art of modern sculpture: an exploration of contemporary creativity and artistic expression

The diversity of contemporary sculptures

There are two main categories of sculptures: relief and round-bump. The former is an ornament that is attached to a background and evolves out of this background. The crushed relief has a low relief rate and whose contours are finely incised. There is low-relief, high-relief and intaglio. The round-bump is edited in such a way as to be able to observe it from all sides or almost. This technique relies on a base or ground and is located in a niche. The most famous ornament in this version evokes Michelangelo juggling these two principles.
Characters are half-emerged from the marble block.

The materials and techniques used to create contemporary sculptures

The materials and techniques used to create these contemporary art statues are just as varied. From traditional materials such as bronze and stone to modern materials such as metal, glass and plastic, artists explore new possibilities to bring their creations to life. These innovative techniques give birth to unique contemporary sculptures that stand out for their originality and aesthetics.

Sculpture can be done using three different techniques: one that involves shaping a soft original material to create shapes, one that involves removing the material...

At Carré d'artistes, you will find talented sculptors each with their distinct style. The polished and varnished copper bust by Frédéric Fortuné is a striking contemporary sculpture that catches the eye instantly. Coming from a family of art enthusiasts, this artist has been immersed in creative practices since his earliest childhood. His contemporary art combines resin and metal, but copper remains his favorite material. The artwork 'Flexo' by Zed continues to make its way. It can be found in a variety of colors and diverse poses. Floh sends us colorful depictions from an imaginary universe.

These evoke the joy of childhood, interpreting a message of humor and cheerfulness. Like his father and grandfather, who were welders and metallurgists, Nikola Vudrag chose to delve into metalwork as art. The artist draws his inspiration from disciplines such as theology, philosophy, mathematics, anthropology, and sciences. To this day, Vudrag is among the notable specialists in Croatia.
