From ancient history, to particular cultural practices and present emotions, art communicates powerful messages. Abstract art is the work of an artist based only on what they see including the color, processes, scale, shapes, brush strokes and size. For example, an artist can use a circle to represent the sun in a painting or sculpture. Abstract artists do not imitate the world in their paintings or sculptures; they simply interpret things as they are.The pioneers of abstract art such as Kandinsky and Delaunay experimented with color, shapes and symbols, but modern artists have devised new ways to make artworks that define some new understanding to life and nature.
I consider art as a gift because it takes a lot of creativity, passion and dedication to venture into this field. Sculpture artists like Nichelle Notabartolo, Richard Mansfield, Marla Ripperda, Cat Quintanilla, and Kristy Richard among others carve out materials like stone, clay, metal, ceramics and wood; into some marvelous artifact. I find their works amazingly beautiful, but I cannot imagine myself sitting down for tens of hours designing one, or even watching one being carved out from stone or metal to completion.
A modern artist has to spend a good amount of his or her time promoting their artistic talent. Even though new marketing strategies like the website, television and print media has made it much easier; I personally find it too involving. I would rather spend that time on the beach or go camping with my friends.
Austin is a city full of artistic talent and you can get the works of almost any Austin artist from the Austin art garage. The garage has different creative and innovative art collections from different artists. Other than art galleries, sculptures for sale can also be found from online stores like Amazon, eBay, the sculpture park, artnet auction houses, sculpture collector and many other art stores. These stores have art collections from thousands of artists across the globe.
I get my inspiration from the beauty of wind art; it makes me see life from a completely different perspective. The unique art found in many kinetic wind sculptures is more stunning than the thousands of standard paintings I see every day. My favorite artists are Jim Lapaso and Anthony Howe. The delicate elements of horror in some of Howe’s sculptures are somehow scary but very fascinating. It is exciting to see some of his wind sculptures exploring the diversity of the world’s most obscure animal species like sea slugs, insects like wasps, sea urchins and many others.
I have keenly been stocking most of Labaso works; from wood to copper and finally stainless steel sculptures are simply demonstrative of his creative imagination. I never stop wondering how one can take a heavy and unyielding metal like steel and carve it into a sculpture that can move at the slightest breeze of wind. Unlike the static works created by many artists, kinetic wind sculptures are designed to move with nature and give a fascinating view of life.
Museums and art galleries around the world are full of collections of sculptures and artifacts from leading artists. Sculptures for sale can be found from an art gallery because museums basically stock them for historical and research purposes. A beautiful sculpture renews excitement in a rather too familiar environment. If you have one in the outside field of your home, you will be fascinated to look at it every day or, touching it just to find out what the artist was imagining creating it.
