AN ARTIST YOU ADMIRE

My artist that I use as a reference is the sculptor beth cavener she is an American artist based out of Montana. A classically trained sculptor, her process involves building complex metal armatures to support massive amounts of clay. Cavener is best known for her fantastical animal figures, which embody the complexity of human emotion and behavior.




Cavener addresses controversial subject matter head on and in direct opposition to the reputation of her chosen medium, clay.

I find interesting the way in which clay works in his sculpture because he sculpts the paste in an expressive way, leaving records of his fingers in the sculpture, it is also interesting that The artist focuses her sculpture on human psychology, stripped of context and rationalization, and articulated through animal forms.

she in an eterview said "on the surface, these figures are simply feral animals suspended in a moment of tension. Beneath the surface, they embody the consequences of human fear, apathy, aggression, and misunderstanding"

  

I find his technique with clay incredible because he bequeaths to very difficult details and scales, the color palette and the monatje of his works I find it beautiful provoking admiration his work.
