Sculpture has become one of the most influenced forms of art
by technology. With the invention of new digital techniques to create art in
general, sculptors now have the opportunity to get their artworks perfectly
symmetric and textured by different computerized programs. In other words, the
sculpture of today’s world is more perfect than it probably was during any
other time from the past. Also, the use of very easy-to-handle materials and
carving machines and instruments have made the world a way easier for sculptors
to work more than ever. New sculpting tendencies started to rise when digital
art programs became accessible to everybody. The work made by Barry X Ball is a
great example of what contemporary sculpture looks like. His work is a mixture
of old and new sculpting techniques that make his works look new and classic at
the same time. Ball’s busts are also representations of classical sculptures
from around the world. Ball adds a touch of realism and texture to make the
busts his. So, perhaps, as any other thing during this time, all forms of art
are suffering a change where old techniques, works and themes are altered in
order to fit in the new society.
