Kinetic Sculpture Artists Create An Array Of Unique Sculptures

By Eugenia Dickerson


Kinetic art provides artists with a wide array of possibilities, and many individuals are kinetic sculpture artists. Some kinetic sculptures rely on some kind of movement to be functional, and others contain one or more parts that visibly implement motion. A sculpture may also do both of the aforementioned things. The results are often imaginative and exciting, and there are countless examples of such sculptures that one might consider.

A miniature windmill is an ideal example of such a piece of sculpted art. The windmill moves when wind blows on it. The parts slowly stop moving, once the air currents have ceased to move. To keep the windmill in constant motion, an artist could place a fan behind it.

A sculpted object that is known as a mobile, which may be suspended from a wall or ceiling, is another example of such artwork. A mobile could be spiral in its shape, and it may be made from materials such as plaster, metal or wood. A mobile might easily move if a person touches it, and it also may not move very easily, depending on how it was constructed. A variety of factors may affect how long a mobile remains in motion.

A series of springs and wheels that propel one another could be regarded as kinetic art. The interior part of a clock or watch might be used as an example of such art. When a person winds up one of its parts, the interior of a timepiece may be set in motion. A large sculpture that is suspended from a ceiling might implement this concept very well.

Other pieces that might be regarded as kinetic artworks are fountains and wind chimes. Water moves through one or several outlets in a fountain, and the result may be a visual display of water in motion. An individual who creates fountains could be described as a designer of artwork that depends on motion, and fountains can be simple or complex in their construction. Wind chimes can also be created in a variety of ways, and like fountains, they rely on air to move their parts.

The shapes of a broad assortment of objects might be seen in movement-related pieces. Such a piece might comprise several long parts that look like the rays of the sun. Another sculpture could resemble a ship sailing across a vast ocean.

Sculptures may also be created to look like living things. A piece could be molded into the shape of a bird, with wings that move. A figurine might resemble a moving tree or flower. Sculptures may be molded in the shape of various kinds of people, from tiny babies to storybook giants. A piece might be formed to look like several ballet dancers in motion.

Designing artwork that moves is something that countless kinetic sculpture artists enjoy doing. A sculpture that relies on motion can be exciting to observe. Examples of such pieces seem almost endless, from sculptures that are shaped like eagles, to miniature wind chimes, to big outdoor fountains. It can be inspiring and thought-provoking to view such artworks. Many of these sculptures have been seen in shopping malls, banks, art galleries, and museums across the world.
