Michael James Talbot, “Midday Sun”, Sculpture: Bronze, 5.1 x 9.1 x 9.4 in

“Limited Edition bronze encapsulating the warmth and calm of summer.”

Michael James Talbot‘s “Midday Sun” not only captures the subtle nuances of the human form, but also encompasses the juxtaposition of the artist desired concept. Choice of medium complements the subject matter as the warmth and intensity of the figures substance is translated through the earthy tones of the bronze. The metallic substrate also allows for a higher sense of depth as it creates a volumetric form.  

David Begbie, “ISUUU”, Steel-Mesh, rose-gold colour finish, 2018,  80 x 64 x 15 cm

David Begbie’s “ISUUU” has had me contemplating how I desire to simulate texture within my model. I plan to texture and paint the figure to create a fraile simulated appearance of glass or sculpture.

I’ve been looking into a lot of David Begbie’s mesh wire sculptures for inspiration with the 3D project. With the project I aim to bring my two dimensional figures into a three dimensional plane. My work typically consist of one figure at the focal point. Begbie’s work has had me thinking about how I want to approach the volumetric 3D sculpt of a human figure. Contemplating how to perhaps make the form more dynamic by perhaps integrating and abstracting multiple figures into the composition.
