From the 1960s and 1970s onwards, different sculptors became involved with a mode of realism based on the physically lifelike ap pearance of the human body. By deploying traditional techniques of modelling, casting and painting in order to recreate human figures they follow different approaches towards a contemporary form of figural realism. The sculptures show how the way we see ou r bodies has been subject to constant change. The publication presents artworks of all important representatives of Hyperrealism. From the early pioneers like George Segal, Duane Hanson and John DeAndrea this comprehensive selection demonstrates how Hyperr ealistic sculptures continuously developed up to the current stars of the movement like Ron Mueck, Sam Jinks, Evan Penny, Tony Matelli and Patricia Piccinini.
The way we see our bodies doesnt always match how a photograph might portray them. From the 1960s onwards, many sculptors became involved with a mode of realism that explored not just how to depict the human body with photographic accuracy, but how to convey, through physically lifelike forms, the ways we perceive the body emotionally. Following a contemporary form of figural realism known as hyperrealism, these sculptors deploy traditional techniques of modeling, casting, and painting to craft a simulated reality, using finite details to highlight what is bizarre, abject, or dreamlike about our experience of the body.
This volume presents artworks by the most important sculptors of hyperrealism, from the early pioneers like George Segal, Duane Hanson, and John DeAndrea up to the current stars of the movement like Ron Mueck, Sam Jinks, Evan Penny, Tony Matelli, and Patricia Piccinini. Richly illustrated throughout, Almost Alive explores the complex and varied ways we are made aware of the human body.
