Nice to see a dedicated sculptor achieving success. I do see what appears as computer modeling and very likely 3D printing happening here as a guess. He emphasized that he "is not a conceptual artist" though by the volume of works in monumental scale he certainly is a productionist.
Modern post modern contemporary sculpture and installation... I don't fully understand it... I'm an art student, I study art, I'm not scared to say I don't understand it. But there are people who do. I see people who will call bs for their lack of understanding, why reveal your shortcomings to the world on yt? rather just say you don't understand it... it's mostly jealousy and lack of insight. Some of his work is very aesthetically pleasing to view. Have you ever "seen" sound? his bronze coloured sculptures is like I'm viewing sound... all my life I could see shapes and structures over repeated phrases or words, that's how I remember stuff... This is the first time I have seen something similar in sculpture...
Craig Steyn theartistcraig I think 🤔 it might be on the representation on vibration and movement, but not necessarily has a historical context. Just like giving form to the wind or water. But that’s my interpretation, but what it makes it an “empty art” is that other people get to do the work and he is designing
@@craigsteyntheartistcraig3592 Your posted comment was 4 years ago (it is 2024 now) and I assume you have graduated in art. I have been a visual artist my whole life and I can guarantee you for sure, creativity has nothing to do with understanding and everything with feelings - like love 😉 I hope we could admire (and feel) you creativity one day.
I do like a lot of these sculptures, but I find these guys who have got to such a financial pinnacle a little odd somehow. They have all these talented people actually MAKING the sculptures, yet in the old days you had people like Brancusi who did pretty well ALL of the manual work themselves (obviously there are some of architectural proportions aswell, but even for them there was often an enormous ''maquette '' back in the studio) . You hear '' oh, a very prolific sculptor'' about someone, and yes, if you have what amounts to a factory at your disposal; but that is slightly cheating to my mind.
@@latetodagame1892 I didn't mean that it doesn't matter, just that there are perspectives with which you could look at the art that make the way it was made an insignificant part of its contexts. The process for some art is part will significantly change message and meaning, and for other works the process will likely not be a part of the message and meaning. In the case of the later, it would probably not benefit you to pay much attention to the process. It becomes like the wall behind the peice. You could pay attention to it but if it doesn't aid in your understanding of the message of the art, why bother? I can see no reason why Cragg's work would beneficially change in meaning whether or not it was made by a computer. The guy is a formalist
@@latetodagame1892 oops formalist was the wrong word. Meant to say the meaning of the work is carried in the form of the work itself. The curves and color of his work would have the immediate same effect on the viewer whether computer generated or not. Again if it's useful to you to take into account his process when trying to ascertain the meaning of his work then do that. But enjoying the sculpture purely as form and material in space is best for me :)

He makes some interesting shapes, I'll give him that. But this is about money not art. Modern art is alchemy, a way of creating wealth. It's the only reason rich people care at all.
Is he a designer for others to do his “art” ...it’s amazing how people can make money from others and the real artists stay unnamed or unknown, just like the worker in his “studio”
Overwhelming - a poet creating sensual and at the same time strong and dynamic forms
Wondeful exhibition this art sculpture of arts congratulate you friend 🙂👏
Tony Cragg and Anish Kapor are both really fantastic sculptors for me, amongst the best my lifetime. Damn jealous of their skills.
I love the sum everything is sculpture and your definition in more detail makes it more accessible thank you

Amazing
so inspirational
Alas I haven’t the money and space to sculp. Stacked faces are brilliant
For me his art had no distortion nicely flow With enjoyment
is this meant to be positive or negative?
Has a fluidity

I remember people criticizing Tony's work in the 80's.
Siempre las tuvo.

many anonymous people working building these works
Was saying very much the same a few mins ago....
Is his stuff just made with a computer?
no, but that wouldnt have make the sculpture better or worse really. The work is the work
@@444-w8k I don't remember why I asked. The aesthetics seem to be computer generated. It's not true that it doesn't matter.

Artists are like actors they actually believe their own BS 🧐
yes, they actually pay to have a room dedicated to a pile of garbage.
Eff-off you ignoarnt see you NT.

Suffering form in a meaningless competition with nature?

How many sculptures that size have you made?

brown nosing - talking pure twaddle
Everything is source

Modern art is alchemy, a way of creating wealth. It's the only reason rich people care at all.
Is it wrong to become wealthy of your art?
@@craigsteyntheartistcraig3592 I think it's wrong to be wealthy, just take what you need.

That's called smArt you doodle

bla bla in a form. great
Yes and no... the second half of his career looks like computer generated/ computer three D printed works.. not a fan. Too much of the same.

Pure crap on an oh so "sophisticated" scale. Bravo lad bravo....here's millions for you to enjoy.
It sounds like you're angry.
Are you an artist?
Bitter because you don't have the money?
artists are often full of crap. it's the job for them.............. professional level b/s-ing, whilst keeping a straight face
