Form

Sculpture / Object

Sculpture / ObjectA sculpture is a three-dimension object made using any one of the basic sculpting processes. These include carving, casting, constructing or modeling. Carving materials may be bone, ivory, stone or wood. Modeling and casting use clay or wax, while constructions glue materials together.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

As an artist, it's been clear that the price of art has nothing to do with you, it has to do with an idea of what the market will tolerate.
- Liam Gillick

Conceptual artist Liam Gillick is renowned for his multi-media installations and his work within the sphere of Relational Art. Highly driven by his exploration of social constructs, Gillick is notable for his use of materials that pertain to political, social and economic systems – Plexiglass and aluminium have been used by Gillick, both as a nod to minimalism and as an example of the materials used in corporate signage and riot shields; As You Approach The Edge Of Town The Lights Are No Softer Than They Were In The Centre is perhaps one of his most notable installations of this kind. Alongside artists such as Angela Bulloch and Damien Hirst, Gillick was a member of the Young British Artists movement; his work has spanned across sculpture, installation, writing and graphic design – such was his success, Gillick was asked to commission a number of works for the Home Office building, a department of the United Kingdom government.

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
