Anybody interested? Yes, absolutely...
Dear Tim and Artisti,
I completely agree and would even go a bit further in favour of figuative. I
think the real problem apart from education is eductation. Meaning that
we've now had a few generations of a predominance of non-figurative art
school lecturers who would easily argue the student out of showing an
inclination to base their art entirely on representing the human figure.
Students are encouraged/ forced to make anything other than human. So
there's no shortage of representational sculpture, representing almost
anything other than a person.
From my point of view its turned out to be something distinctly in my
favour.
Anyway enough of this, I'm going to have to come down on the side of
limiting the amount of sculptural criticism and talking about every other
medium, mainly because to do half well you have to have to say it as it is,
bluntly and that could hurt far to many people.
The place for that is on someone else's chat room not ours.
Best regards
