10 Amazing Sculptures From Nature And Art

Sculpture as an exponential branch of the traditional art was perhaps one of the most discussed topics during the cultural currents that swept over the world.
Impressive, revolutionary and elegant but also a spectacular way of freeing the beauty trapped in matter, the sculpture became during the last century a challenge of making the spectacular tangible.
The abstract has left its print over the sculpture world and so did the spectacular and weird. The hunger of creating art that does not imitate life or on the contrary that imitates it to perfection was certainly a challenge worthy of trying.
So…yes … the exception in sculpture is truly exceptional.

1. The Singing Tree

Panopticons sculptures were thought as a mean to the end of making Lancashire famous. So they did…but these sculptures are truly the expression of nonsense.

They are spectacular, interesting and weird but not beautiful. The singing tree is the noisiest of them because the galvanized pipes it is made of make a creepy noise when the wind blows.

2. Natural Materials Sculptures

Very beautiful and extremely impressive for the naked eye, the natural material sculptures are spectacular works of art using real fruits and feathers.

The sculptures look like they are in motion and the effect is obtained by suspending each and every piece they are made of to a nylon thread. Talk about patience in the pursuit of art….

3. Staten Island Rock Sculptures

The vision behind taking raw materials and use them nothing but to create art is not very new but taking nature and molding it to beautify its natural ground it is.

Staten Island shore is spectacularly beautified by rock sculptures built from the very rocks that the ocean polished and shaped but also from the things the water pushed to shore.

4. Towel Sculptures

Funny and always surprising the towel sculptures are a trend very familiar to the exotic resorts and the famous hotels of the world.

If making swans out of towels is something very nice to offer to the guest so they would feel welcome, making more complicated animals and patterns out of towels becomes a true art.

5. Art Imitating Life

When it comes to detail the Ron Mueck sculptures are truly the perfect replica of life. Excruciating detailed and perfectly designed to be huge or tiny but always spectacular the statues are the way the artist dared to see humanity in the most unexpected moments.

6. Fantasy Work By Michelle Bradshaw

Truly delicate and very similar with the toys and fantasy books we read our children from, the fairy tale art by Michelle Bradshaw is both delicate and sweet but also extremely well detailed.

7. Sand Sculpture

Sand sculpture is an art beyond the barriers of regular art. It conquers a challenge of transforming one of the most unstable natural materials in a work of art beyond imagination.

Spectacular effort in the service of stimulating people to dream.

8. Weird And Pointless

This section of sculpture is perhaps trying to prove that unimportant is important. However, seeing something like this in the street would surely catch attention.

9. Erotism Abstract

Presenting the fascination for sex in a sculptural form is one of the oldest manifestations of art. Still creating amazing representation of the female raw sexuality is surely a challenge.

Imagine having one of these as a conversation piece in your living room.

10. Metamorphosis

Large and spectacular by its size, the Metamorphosis is surely also amazing by its nature. Able to shape-shift this sculpture is sure to draw attention.
