Jaume Plensa Spanish artist Jaume Plensa was born in 1955 and studied at the Llotja School of Art and Design and at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts. A significant area of Plensa's work is sculpture in public space. Many of his pieces are installed all over the world, including one titled "Nuria & Irma". This piece is made out of stainless steel and is installed in an outdoor environment. The piece is meant to be a depiction of a mother and a daughter, facing one another and created with a mesh material. Plensa's sculptural work as a whole is focused on turning the human figure into a sculptural image. I love how he manipulates mesh material and cast iron to create the human face in 3D. Perhaps I could use my inspiration from Jaume Plensa to create a mesh wire or clay piece, learning how to create the figure of the human face with one of those mediums. Celia Smith Born in 1974, Celia Smith studied Fine Art Sculpture at Wimbledon School of Art. After experimenting with many mediums, wire became her favorite. She uses wire as a drawing material. She collects all different types of wire, including rested wire, thin wire, electrical cable, and anything else she can find. Each piece is like a treasure to her. Generally, her work focuses around depicting the figures of birds, and she often goes out on drawing trips to nature reserves and islands. More recently, she has began to incorporate wooden pieces into her wire figures in order to give them some context. A lot of her time is spent drawing and studying the birds in order to capture their movement and character before turning them into 3D figures. I love how each of Celia's pieces are so delicate, depicting the characteristics of the birds perfectly. I have actually been thinking about including the figures of birds into my sculpture somehow, and I would like to experiment with Celia's wire technique. http://www.celia-smith.co.uk/about/ Janaki Lele
Janaki Lele is a visual artist and designer with an Indian background, based in Australia. Through her work, Janaki hand cuts paper into exciting visual stories and explorations. She enjoys working with words in her pieces, using pages from books to create her art. One of her projects have focused on creating 3D paper mache sculptures out of newspaper and pages from novels. Each of her pieces is incredibly detailed, using the words on the pages she cuts apart to relate to her subject matter. I love how she bases her sculptures off of books or ideas and uses the pages from those books to create the sculpture. Paper mache sculptures are something I would like to explore more. After some experience with the technique in Art 2, I would like to continue to explore the concept. Perhaps I could use my inspiration from Celia Smith and from Janaki Lele to create my sculpture using a mixture of paper and wire. http://candidcuts.weebly.com/paper-mache-sculptures.html
