Kinetic Sculpture Artists Create A Broad Variety 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.

One example of such a sculpture might consist of a miniature windmill. When air is blown on the piece, it moves. Once the currents of air have ceased to move, the piece slowly stops moving, as well. An artist might also place a fan near the piece, so that it is constantly moving as long as the blades of the fan are moving.

Another example of art that moves is a sculpted piece known as a mobile. A mobile can be hung from a nail in a ceiling or wall. The mobile might be spiral in its shape, and it could be constructed from various materials, such as metal, plaster or wood. Depending on how the piece was constructed, it may move easily when it is touched, or it might not move easily. The length of time that it remains in motion can depend on an assortment of factors.

Another piece of art might include a series of wheels and springs that propel one another. An example of such a piece could be the interior of a timepiece. The interior of a clock or a wristwatch can be set in motion when someone winds up one of its parts. This concept might be displayed in a large piece of artwork that hangs from a wall or a ceiling.

Wind chimes and fountains might also be regarded as art that relies on motion to function. In a fountain, water is propelled through one or more outlets, and the result is a visual display of moving water. Many fountains have complex designs, and a person who creates such fountains could certainly be described as a kinetic sculpture artist. Wind chimes depend on air to move their parts, and like fountains, they can be created in many unique and complex ways.

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.
