Andreja Vuckovic is a traditional as well as digital sculptor, painter, and modeler located in Wellington, New Zealand. His theme is mainly realistic figurative art and creature design but we'll only be looking at his digital figure sculptures. His inspiration seems to come from the Renaissance era of art as well as from the renowned sculptors of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The three works I have selected from this artist are: "Girl" (April 20, 2011); "Ugolino and His Sons" (September 2008); and "Jean d'Aire" (February 14, 2008). The first piece under the title "Girl" is an original work of Vuckovic while "Ugolino and His Sons" sculpt is a copy of the original sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, a French artist of the 18th century. "Jean d'Aire" is also a copy of the work Auguste Rodin did as a commemorative monument to the city of Calais. What's important to notice about the three works mentioned above is that they all have a strong sense of character in them. Vuckovic unquestionably did justice to the works of Carpeaux and Rodin as I cannot see a single flaw in them in terms of anatomy, pose, and expression. He captured a moment in his sculpts just like the original artists intended. The figures have a great sense of balance, proportion, asymmetry, and weight in them. To create characters in such convincing poses requires a deep knowledge of human body's movement and motion. Vuckovic understands the planes of the body without which sculpts may look stiff and blobby. He is a true inspiration to me and aspiring artists alike. (word count - 266)
