Create a bold focal point and conversation starter with the timeless presence of sculpture. While sculpture is often overlooked when choosing art for the home, it offers a unique way to add depth, emotion, and character to your space.
Where to Place Sculpture
Many people wonder where to place a sculpture. The truth is, sculpture can do more than fill a space. It can highlight architectural features that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as vaulted ceilings, curved windows, or empty wall niches. A well-placed bronze piece can become the centerpiece of a dining table, a quiet reading corner, or an elegant entryway.
The Impact of Sculpture Indoors and Outdoors
Sculpture is just as impactful outdoors. A garden, courtyard, or patio adds dimension and a sense of permanence. Unlike flat artwork, sculpture invites movement and interaction. Artist Chuck Close once noted that sculpture "occupies real space like we do... You walk around it and relate to it like another person or object."
The Enduring Appeal of Bronze Sculptures
Bronze sculptures bring a sense of timelessness and craftsmanship. Whether your style is classic or contemporary, adding sculpture to your home is a lasting way to elevate your environment and express your aesthetic.
Create a focal point and conversation starter that will enhance your space with maximum impact by purchasing sculpture. Sculpture is not generally considered first when one sets out to buy art. Questions like, “what will I do with it?” and “where will I put it?” jump to the front of the mind. Think about how sculpture can enhance architectural details that would otherwise go unnoticed such as a vaulted ceiling or a curved window or a niche that seems to have no purpose. Sculpture can be used to convert an otherwise unusable space by turning it into a bold and dramatic statement area. The artist, Chuck Close wrote that sculpture is a unique medium because it “occupies real space like we do…you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.” Whether inside a room or as the anchor of an outdoor area, you can always count on sculpture to add an element of surprise to any space.
