Description
The human form has never been more scrutinized. From the 1960s onwards, sculptors have employed hyperrealism to capture the complexities of our perception. This art movement uses traditional techniques to create lifelike forms that reveal the emotional and psychological aspects of the body. Through richly illustrated pages, Almost Alive showcases the works of key figures in this contemporary form of figural realism. From pioneers like George Segal and Duane Hanson to leading artists such as Ron Mueck and Patricia Piccinini, this volume presents a comprehensive exploration of the human experience. By examining the intricate details of these sculptures, we gain insight into our own relationship with the body. Almost Alive offers a unique perspective on the ways in which we perceive ourselves, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of the human form.
