The Dancer Concrete Sculpture

[Hermes2020]

I have shown the photorealistic rendering of my proposed Dancer concrete sculpture in a previous post:

The sculpture is an exploration of merging objects fluidly in my 3D software. Here is a fluid merging of two spheres of different sizes.

I blended five spheres to give a final abstract figure of a dancer, somewhat inspired by Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi. Here are photos from different angles of the finished sculpture, which is 460mm high, including the concrete base.

Very smooth and modernistic, good balance.

Thank you Wayne.

Thank you Wayne.

I admire Wayne a lot, but Wayne, I ain't.

Ha ha, sorry it must have been temporary insanity.

So your thank you isn’t in vain, I think it quite flowing and a great conversation piece.

Much appreciated, Sno. Ha, only kidding!

Thanks for all the viewing angles, Hermes. It’s beautiful from every direction! Your concept of the fluid merging of two spheres resulted in an amazing piece; so gracefully organic.

Thank you for appreciating the multiple views. I was worried that I may be overdoing it, but I think that this type of sculpture should be seen from all sides.

Wayne needed a compliment.

Definitely needs to be seen from all sides. You get the true scope of the Dancer. Well done.

Hermes’, are you old enough to have been in the pin rack of the old 10 pin bowling alleys before automation where you loaded the pins into racks that would then put them down. As a pin boy you were perched above the alley height but you had to watch for flying pins. I see flying pins where you see dancers. Life’s experiences shape our vision.

Yes, I am old enough, but never experienced the joys of being a pin boy. I love your marvellous interpretation, Wayne. That's one of the fascinating things about abstraction: people's reactions, especially if they see things the artist did not intend to express.

Gorgeous! I love the simplicity and smooth surface. This is just simply beautiful.

Beautiful and so very tactile.

Beautiful and so very tactile.

Thank you. I encourage people to touch my sculptures, so I aim for tactility.
