Wire Sculpture
Wire sculpture is an art form that involves creating three-dimensional shapes and figures using various types of wire. Artists manipulate the wire by bending, twisting, and shaping it to form intricate designs, ranging from abstract forms to realistic representations of animals, people, or objects. The flexibility of wire allows for a wide range of creative expression.
This medium can utilize different materials, such as aluminum, copper, or steel wire, each offering unique properties and aesthetics. Wire sculptures can be freestanding or wall-mounted, and they often play with light and shadow, enhancing their visual impact. Artists like Alexander Calder are well-known for their contributions to this art form.
