Do the Limitations of Two Dime
Do the Limitations of Two Dimension Art Mean that a Flat Image cannot be as Powerful as a Three Dimensional Image?Sculpture and painting have co-existed blissfully for hundreds of years. However in recent years it seems as though sculpture has claimed a more important place in the visual arts scene. Artists find it much easier to convey messages through a three dimensional image than the tradition two dimensional means. Is it that actual space is essentially more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface? Is it that we get that 'immediate' message from a sculpture?Sculpture is an ancient form of human expression supported by a lasting tradition and by an ever increasing skill base. It is constantly being refreshed and reinvented in response to the creative vision and imagination of its practitioners and now takes many different forms and directions. In this essay I am going to explore how sculpture has changed and whether or not a two dimensional piece can be as evocative and powerful as a three dimensional piece. I am also going to speculate reasons for which artists may choose to express their ideas and themes in three dimensions rather than two dimensions and debate whether the changes in art prac
I do not think this work should be viewed as a piece of sculpture, but more as a revealing model. It is the lack of respect for human life that pulls these pieces together. So addressing the original question of whether or a two dimensional piece can have the impact of a three dimensional piece I feel as though Riot of the Insane does not give you quite the same sense of unease and dread that Hell does. Print from Goya's Disasters of War series Chapman Brothers recreation Deeds Against the Dead (1994) This series of prints entitled Disasters of War were made in the years 1810-20. Hundred of tiny trees and rocks purchased from model shops make up landscapes occupied by more than 5000 intividual cast and painted figures. Times have changed so drastically and I do feel as though if you want to be taken seriously as an artist sculpture is your best bet. But again, in my eyes there is not artistic side to the work. The Chapman's place the viewer in the position of ruthless gods, looking on with awe and wonder at the destruction they've willed. And one of the scenes was then transferred into a life-size recreation using shop mannequins. This nature of work reminds me very much of George Grosz's Riot of the Insane. You are as likely to find her filling up the pages of newspapers and magazines, as you are gallery walls. Sculptors were highly skilled craftsmen, dedicated and intellectual. Delinquently scratched like toilet stall graffiti, their images are comic depictions of terror, reminiscent of heavy metal album covers. Images of Hell have been portrayed before by many artists.
