Artist collection for 3D

Anthony Gormley

Anthony Gormley's still life work is all (or mostly) made from him being covered from head to toe in plaster by his wife, he finds the human body sacred almost, saying how it is "a vessel for personal space", that skin is not the beginning or end of our bodys.
The 20th century the human form was mostly used in art, however it was mainly women, children playing or soldiers, slightly generalising it.

Dave Nash

An artist who uses Art Nouveau, using natural forms to create pieces of art, in his case instead of being inspired by it (though he may still be) he uses natural forms to piece together his pieces. 



He does tend to stick to primary elements, shapes such as triangles, squares and circles, they are powerful shapes which are easily recognisable, however combining them or changing the placement of any single shape will give an unusual effect, even a texture without you needing to touch it.


This piece is known as 'Pyramid' and are made from a single Oak tree around 400years old, which he Charred, treated them with linseed oil then does the same things again to give such effect.

Eglin Marbles
There is no doubt in my mind that you have seen or heard of this collection of classic Greek Sculptures, they are usually pictured as pure white sculptures that look near perfect


They are only pure white now because that is the way Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Eglin wanted them to look, as they were originally brightly painted, almost 'cheery' looking for what they are


The act of cutting off pieces of marble sculptures, stealing them from their resting place, and removing the paint were illegal and acts of vandalism against the monuments of significant historical value. Greece continues to fight to this day for the sculptures to be returned to their home.

Henry Moore
Best known for his abstract human body work, which were usually based on women figures or reclining figures. Henry Moore was an English artist who was born in 1898.

His talent first showed while he was attending infant and elementary school, where he learnt how to use clay and carve from wood which he seemed to enjoy, by the age of 11 he decided he wanted to be a sculpture after hearing about Michelangelo's Achievements (best known for his statue of David).



I do like his work, its appearance is so smooth and fluid, it appears so simple however each work he did started off as sketches before they blossomed into something more.

Anthony Caro
whose work was abstract and almost futuristic, using simple shapes to make a more detailed piece of art, by 'simple shapes' I mean most if not all parts were found industrial objects. He had worked with the abstract artist Henry Moore earlier on in his career.
