That is legit a great sculpture too. Cloth is extremely difficult to sculpt.

It's technically very impressive, and the artist is obviously very skilled, but I don't think it's good in terms of being interesting art

[-] HotSoda@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Anyone know who the artist is? I'm curious what else she's done.

I can see where you're coming from. How everything is flowing, the fabric and the hair, is interesting to me though. But I'm biased, I used to sculpt. So maybe the skill on display is all I need. I wonder if she's done anything that might be more interesting in a different way.

Yeah looks like you're right.
She found her niche, that's for sure. All "woman in flowing lace in bronze". Which is cool. I always wanted to do a bronze sculpture. I have no talent compared to Luo Li Rong though.

This one is cool. What do you think?

That shit is BRONZE??? Holy shit! What amazing work

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

About the same as the other one. There's no doubt she's good as hell at what she does, but it isn't really for me. Probably id appreciate it on a technical level more if I had the experience you have

There's an artist I have to show you guys. Idk if anyone will like his stuff, but it's definitely interesting. I can't think of his name right now, but I'll try to tag you when I do.

[-] Clownade_drinker@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

His name is Jackson pollock

it's a pretty realistic impression of a woman I don't think it's bad to like art like it

Realism for realism's sake is boring

That's a perfectly reasonable opinion but realism as a movement is defined by which part of reality the artist chooses to depict and that's where the artistic expression comes in.

realism is in art history the begining of the modern art movement and rejected traditional ideas about what could be depicted in art.

This person chose to depict a woman in a flowy dress, which I also don't find especially interesting

There is basically nothing interesting in terms of content about this, it's just horny with bordering-on-cartoonish anatomy and good cloth and hair. It doesn't express anything except objectification laundered through technical ability and detail.
