Artist Research George Segal

Artist research George Segal text: I have chosen to study the works of George Segal as I am very inspired by the life size scale of his sculpture pieces. I feel that I would like to incorporate Segal's use of mod-roc and plaster materials within the sculptural part of my final major piece as I feel that these materials would create a textured base for the bone elements in preparation for the application of textured marks. Unlike Segal, I am planning to apply a layer of acrylic paint to my sculpture to create a sense of texture and variations of tone similar to those that I have studied from life. Segal's use of orthopaedic bandages dipped in plaster technique relates to my own personal spinal surgery and title of my project 'Orthopaedic Cage', so I feel that I may experiment with bandages in future ideas. I am particularly inspired by Segal's 'The Asian Picnic' as the piece captures a sense of life within an environment which is further reinforced by the use...

Proposal

Image
The main influence for this project is my own Scoliosis surgery so I decided that bones (specifically the spine and ribcage) would be the main focus of my piece. I also drew inspiration from the works of Leonardo Da Vinci as I am very inspired by the intricacy of his anatomical studies and that his subjects are similar to that of which I would like to incorporate within my final major illustration and sculpture. Due to the quarantine, I am unable to conduct any trips or visits because of closures at this time. However I am influenced by previous trips and visits such as the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition and the Natural History Museum in which I was able to study fossilised bones from life. The sculptural works of George Segal have inspired me in particular as they are presented within an environment, in which I would like to further research within this project.   The title of my project is “Orthopaedic Cage”. I will work towards producing a large scale spine and ribcage scu...

Decision To Remove The Ribcage Sculptural Elements Of Final Major

Image
I have decided to remove the ribcage sculptural element of my final major as I feel I may have been overly ambitious with creating both a spine and ribcage sculpture alongside an illustration piece for my final major piece. I do not feel that the quality of this piece is successful enough and I feel this may have been caused by insufficient experimentation on the structure of the ribcage and the overall armature within. As I have incorporated a lot of ribs within this sculpture, it was quite difficult to keep the form and scale of each rib symmetrical to balance the piece and once I had tested the ribcage alongside the spine sculpture as a temporary hold, I discovered that the piece as a whole was too busy and would distract the viewer's eye from the focal point of the illustration element of the final major. After applying a layer of mod roc to the ribcage, I felt that the structure had become too bulky and the original shape of the ribs were somewhat lost. Alongside this I felt t...
