Leading lifecasting artists like Edward Kienholz, John De
Andrea and Duane Hanson have pioneered the way for hyper-realistic figuration
characterized by ultra reality. Their work may seem unsettling but it still
manages to engage viewers by the mixing of unusual, out-of-the-box creativity
with sculpture that goes a bit beyond reality. Envision an innocent child
cuddling a grotesque animal and you will get the picture! Yet, one cannot
easily dismiss the abstract pieces as it requires substantial technical skill
and inordinate patience to bring the imagination to life!
So, is it all about practice and skill? How can enthusiastic
beginners hope to follow the same path as these established and professional
lifecasters?
