Aesthetic Employment of Structural and Technical Foundations in Floating Sculpture

Abstract

With the beginning of the twentieth century, and with the progress of science and as a result of scientific and technological development, modern artistic trends have multiplied and become more abstract, resulting in new plastic concepts that had a great impact in bringing about a comprehensive change in thought and artistic content. Floating sculpture is one of the most important trends that have benefited from scientific, technological and industrial developments, and as a result of the impact and diversity of aesthetic concepts. There are many structural and technical foundations for floating sculpture.

    Hence, the multiplicity of structural and artistic foundations had an impact on the multiplicity of intellectual and philosophical trends and the change of the artist’s style, so his directions varied and resulted in a multiplicity of plastic formulations and individual methods of the artist, which in turn affected the aesthetic concept of floating sculptures, which is one of the areas that are associated with the concept of contemporary sculpture and post-art arts. Modernity, as its forms, philosophical and scientific concepts and its aesthetic implications were affected by the development of the concept of sculptural form, which relied on plastic treatments, as well as raw materials through structural and artistic foundations, such as space, transparency, reflection, volumes, movement, light, color and texture. And how this type of interactive sculpture had a positive impact in organizing the elements of the artwork, and the artwork became the feature of spreading and merging with the surrounding environment, and the artist began to seek through his artwork to find aesthetic and artistic solutions and a spatial study of the surrounding environment and make it an integrated part artistically.
