Wall Art Sculptures

Many times when we talk about wall art, people think about paintings or wall hangings that have been hand sown or painted for example. But now things have changed and evolved. Art has evolved in to extremes that for some of us seem and look alien,  but nevertheless breathtakingly beautiful.

sWall art sculpture are a some what new form of art which has entered the new age art world. Wall art sculptures can be made by using just a plain canvas, jute, glass or any other creative material. A wall sculpture is defined as a decorative wall handing made from any marital including wood or metal or synthetic material.

The beauty of wall art sculptures are that they can even assume true form. In other words, certain 3D wall art sculptures have a sense of life or breath to them. This art is in the hands of the creator. Wall art sculptures have a distinctive advantage from the point of the creator. That is that walls provide the artist with immense amount of space; space to experiment and adventure through.
The Frieze of the Siphnian Treasury, Delphi, depicting a Gigantomachy is an example of ancient wall art sculptures. For those of you who are not familiar with Delphi, it is both an archeological site as well as a modern town in Greece.

As mentioned above wall art sculptures can be made using a variety of materials.  In India we come across wall art sculptures which are made using metal. Beautiful metal carvings are surrounded by almost life like background imagery. Some of these amazing works have been brought to life by a sculptor by the name of Anand Charya. 336 west 37th street, New York currently has on display a wide range of beautiful, breathtaking and at times haunting, wall art sculptures. Material used for these sculptures varies from wood to feathers, from metal to glass, and paper to cloth.

Many Asian countries have wall art sculptures created into rock. Countries like, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and even Thailand lay claim to some of the world’s most majestic stone wall art sculptures in the region.

The Plywood wall art sculpture such as the “Drum Sisters” created by Chaidi Okoye is a beautiful piece of art work. These art works can fetch about $6,500 per piece; priced so for its intricate work, time and creativity.

Art is no longer a pencil or charcoal drawing on a rock or piece of paper, it is now a highly developed form of art, which is experimenting new heights of wonder and pleasure. Wall art sculptures  are one of the many forms of art we now see today.
