Picture Perfect



The unique and alive 3D sculptures are made out of many photographs of the original subjects. When I see art like this I always wonder why…Maybe the artist is trying to interpret life in a new way. Are they bored of life? And therefore constantly creating new concepts to express life. I always find it fascinating with work like this, I always wonder if the artist was trying to show off his technique, exploit his new way of thinking, or maybe it is just an expression of oneself or are they just bored and thought this would look good.

When we look at these, what do we see? A human? Or a sculpture? The sculpture wouldn’t have the same realistic point of view if it was done with drawings, or possible different photographic images put together. In a way this is more life like then a sculpture or statue. Why is this, because I can see clearer details in these photos? Or is it because this is maybe how our mind works, we see something and with our mind we break it apart and analyse it. This process has already taken place in these sculptures. What I like about these, they are a mind f*ck, your mind is trying to believe they are real but you know very well they aren’t. So you are stuck in the middle.
