December is a month full of joy, and of course it is a good time to look back at the end of the year. Whether it’s the annual review you recently saw on FB, or you started flipping through the photos and calendars on your phone, having these footprints makes you want to work hard next year! Of course, let’s also take a look at the eye-catching Top of 2014 12 Sculpture art!

New Jersey artist Gregory Halili carefully carves skulls in relief on shells and paints them with soft lacquer. He was inspired by the lush jungles and tropical animals that Gregory Halili saw growing up in the Philippines. The objects existing in nature are used to carve out the connection between them and people, and the exquisite techniques hide deep warmth.

Nashville artist Herb Williams chose crayons that most people used to doodle when they were children as a creative material. In the hands of Herb Williams, crayons are no longer just colorful and bold lines on paper, but lively and wild. Statue Art. The animals formed by melting, cutting and organizing crayons have a childlike and magical visual tension that quickly captures the hearts of viewers.

Chris Wood, a Cambridge artist from the UK, uses delicate glass fragments arranged in geometric shapes. Through the refraction characteristics of the glass itself, the light beam becomes a dazzling rainbow. It is simple and neat, but has an indescribable sense of luxury.

Los Angeles artist Jen Stark recently returned to her hometown of Miami to participate in Art Basel, and her kaleidoscope-like paper sculptures made people stand out. The layers of colored paper spiral inward, like a rainbow-like hypnosis that makes people plunge into it and experience the psychedelic vision of three-dimensional space.

Artist Igor Verniy uses scrap metal to assemble new objects, giving these abandoned components a new lease of life. When beautifying the surface of metal parts by painting them, something that I thought would never be used again turned into a soulful work of art with a skillful hand.

Australian artist Bruno Torfs uses life-size wood sculptures to create figures in his private forest garden in his sculpture garden. The vines and natural objects in the forest will be combined with the work to make it more forest-like. The style of creation is mostly based on the concepts of fairy tales and elves, and there are also mythical unicorns!

British artist Robin Wight uses stainless steel wire to create dynamic and tense sculptures. The most amazing thing is that the hardness of the steel wire can make it as soft as hair, floating in the air like a dandelion blown by the wind.

The tall giant horse sculpture is from artist Andy Scott. It is 100 feet tall and took eight years to complete. This sculpture has a profound meaning behind it and explains the legend and symbol of national culture. The two tall giant horses are made of metal. The structural gaps of the metal sheets allow light to penetrate. No matter which side you admire, it looks so majestic and majestic.

At this year’s DUMBO Art Festival, artist Tom Fruin’s rainbow glass house Kolonihavehus, a colorful and lovely outdoor sculpture, was widely discussed. In the past few years, colorful cabins can be seen in European countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Austria and the Czech Republic!

Sculptor Ben Young combines functionality and artistic creation through glass and cement. I really like this series of works. Especially when the glass becomes the waves of the ocean hitting the cement shore, or the lighthouse building made of bronze on the shore, it feels like you have a small harbor that you can watch quietly at any time.

The large-scale underwater sculpture is the creation of artist Jason deCaires Taylor. It took a year to create a huge work of five meters high and four meters wide. The cutting and assembly were accurately calculated using instruments. This work became the most ambitious creation of Jason deCaires Taylor.

The spectacular outdoor sculpture titled Feltépve, designed by Hungarian artist Ervin Loránth Hervé, features a giant tearing apart the turf and crawling out, which is a little scary but fascinating. No wonder it can be listed as the most classic sculpture creation in 2014. Maybe one day such a giant will really tear open the grassland or the road and come out!
After seeing the amazing sculptures in this year’s T0p 12, it’s time to move towards 2015!
I hope there will be more artists next year and continue to beautify our world. I also wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance!
