Moments of grace, tenderness, love, so many scenes of everyday life depicted in this wonderful election of contemporary sculptures for sale. KAZoART presents works of art inspired by these very moments; where ordinary becomes extraordinary.
Scenes from everyday life in genre sculpture, just like in painting, are just as good at portraying banal, everyday moments as they are expressing events and social gatherings (traditional festivities, family meals, etc.). Here you’ll find sculptures made by artists on KAZoART who have chosen to celebrate all aspects of life.
Scenes of everyday life in sculpture, outside of the religious and mythological realms, weren’t very commonplace until the 19th century (Giovanni Ambrogio De Donati, Scenes from the life of Saint Anne), with the exception of the small Hellenistic and Egyptian figurines that could be found in tombs, accompanying the deceased into the afterlife.
However, genre sculpture can also be used to illustrate a real or fictitious historical scene (Auguste Rodin, The Burghers of Calais), or to portray a sentiment of love (Camille Claudel, The Mature Age).
Sculptures in the History of Western Art that focus on scenes from everyday life are mainly religious. Indeed, sculpture has always been used to convey and tell a story through images, addressing both the illiterate and the educated viewer.
Thus, the scenes of religious life served to tell the different stages of the lives of the various protagonists coming from different religions while at the same time encouraging the spectator to lead a holy and pious life.
The artist is free to choose the material he wishes to work with in order to create and shape the scene. However, their choice must be made judiciously, taking into account the place of exhibition of the sculpture (outdoor or indoor).
