The Veiled Madonna by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza in the 19th century in marble. Marble can shape everything. And the imagination of the artist can create everything. When the rich imagination of the artist is combined with marble, extraordinary art can be created.
For thousands of years, European sculptors have been creating on marble because of its softness and translucent softness. These characteristics make marble particularly suitable for sculpting intricate details, embodying the fine anatomy and flowing folds of the human body. Such as Michelangelo, Bernini, Rodin and other masters. They also created many famous marble sculptures in their lifetime.
Today we will not look at the masterpieces of these early Italian sculptors, today we will look at the "marble pillow" sculpted by the Norwegian artist Hkon Anton Fagers.
This stone pillow looks very fluffy, but if you touch it yourself, you will find that it is very hard. The real material of the "pillow" is all marble blocks.
Common to most of Hkon Anton Fagers' sculptures is fragility and fragility. While he often sculpts figures and faces, he occasionally sculpts marble pillows. Using a variety of carving knives including a pneumatic hammer, I managed to create pillows that look incredibly soft - all with the natural creases and folds of real fabric.
While the feathery and fabric folds carved into the pillow look unremarkable in the sculptural work, Hkon Anton Fagers considers these little things "the beauty of life". Because he believes that the most beautiful and difficult moments of a person's life are spent in bed, and the natural softness of the pillow captures all the feelings of this experience of life.
These incredible sculptures capture the natural creases and folds of real fabrics.
Is it too realistic? If you don't see the process map of the artist's carving, do you immediately think of its soft, fluffy and fluffy touch when you see the pillow?
