Sculptures – Omar Reyna's Log- Sculpture 1: Starting out in 3D

I was lucky to go to Ottawa, Montreal and Quèbec City this summer. The museums offer was incredibly and of course the statues I saw, not only in the museums but also on the streets were fantastic. I was fascinated how I was able to see sculptures with different eyes now that I’m doing some (minor) sculptures of my own. I paid attention to the materials, sizes, forms and the concepts behind the sculptures but I was intrigued, most of the time, by the base or by how the sculpture stood by itself.

The following galleries are of the sculptures that I found most interesting. There were two artists that impressed me the most: James Turrell and Rebecca Belmore. One of the sculptures that impressed me the most was by James Turrell, and it was made with light!

MAC Montreal

Rebecca Belmore

Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

James Turrell

This is by far the sculpture that impressed me the most. I am really not so sure if this is considered a sculpture but it has all the illusion of tridimensionality. I took these photos with an ipod and the result is not as impressive as the real thing.
