Video: The Wire Animals of Bendetta Mori Ubaldini

Sculptures by Bendetta Mori Ubaldini are light, transparent and therefore slightly surreal. There is nothing fantastic and unearthly in her works - these are images of ordinary animals. But the material from which they are made is of interest - a fine wire mesh.
Bendetta's sculptures have no viscera, only an outer shell. Thanks to this, they shine through: through the body of one animal, you can see the outlines of another. The author also experiments with the color and size of the sculptures, thanks to which red pigs and rabbits are born in human size.
“I love creating 3D images,” says Bendetta Mori Ubaldini. - The works that I create from fine wire mesh have their origins in my childhood memories and imaginations. The magic power of transparency turns each of my works into a luminous ghost, into a weightless ghost - as if our memory falls into a state of some kind of trance."
Bendetta is Italian, but for some time she lived in London, where she was engaged in the restoration of paintings. However, after graduating from Middlesex University in Fine Arts in 1998, the girl decided that her vocation was not painting, but sculpture. Since 2005 she has been living and working in Milan. In addition to wire installations, Bendetta also creates what she herself calls "ugly art": sculptures from balloons.

People and animals made of metal wire. The crumbling sculptures of Tomohiro Inaba
Considering the abstract or surrealistic works of artists and designers that we write about on Culturology.ru, many readers express the opinion that the authors of these works are mentally ill, and that is why the plots of their paintings or installations are so dark, eerie and strange. But in fact, if the authors were crazy, they would not create at all like that. And how, I tried to present the Japanese sculptor Tomohiro Inaba in a series of his non-standard sculptures made of metal
Eerie sculptures of hybrid animals. Metamorphosed Animals Project by Enrique Gomez De Molina
Inventing and reproducing new worlds that are inside ours, or even exist outside of time and space, artists and sculptors often inhabit them with outlandish creatures, the likes of which can only be seen in delirium, feverish dreams, or under the influence of potent "substances". Where they come from and where they go is unknown, but in modern art strange animals can be seen in the works of Jessica Jocelyn, Steve Bishop or today's hero of the publication, sc
