Sculptors

A sculpture is an artwork proceeds by raw materials, worked to get an accurate form recalling something that exists in reality or with a recognised meaning. For example we have the artworks by Kodra, Kossuth, Christian Gobbo and Andrew Tosh: each one with a peculiar style and a different wish to communicate.

Some sculptures dated back to the ancestral time , when people carved in stone divine's images to protect the community from bad spirits and misfortune.Then, during Roman times, they dedicated sculptures - also called “lari” - to death relatives; their function was to remember them and to protect the living.

Sculpture was used to celebrate religious figures during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, while, during the Modern age, it assumes a very unusual connotation, becoming no more a physical celebration of someone, but an instrument of denunciation, a joke and a provocation.For example, the notorious urinal by Duchamp, who transformed an ordinary object into a desire for all art collectors.

Nowadays, the sculpture is a means of communication and no more a representation, and it is full of colours and rich of realistic details.
