Quality Fiberglass Statues that Add Value To Customers | Plutus Art

How important are sculptures or statues in your scheme of things? Apart from bestowing the much needed serenity to your surroundings, these are excellent objects to fill any type of space as well. However, when it comes to choosing a material to give shape to your vision, you could be spoilt for choice. Or do you think so? From time immemorial, stone, burnt clay or metal have been the material of choice for artists when it came to giving vent to their imagination. A cursory glance around famous places such as museums, parks, or government or privately owned buildings can convince you of the utility of such art forms. However, with the change in time or should we dare say, the advent of modernity, another material has taken the world of statues, sculptures and art by storm. The material is none other than fiberglass, the wonder material made from molten glass shards and fused by a resin like substance. Building fiber sculptures The process begins with the creati...

Art has an uncanny ability to reinvent itself depending on the demands and aesthetics of the time. Thus, what had been the importance of a craftily designed sculpture in earlier times made of stone or metal does not evoke that kind of awe or the ‘gulp in the throat’ feeling. It is more to do with the change in taste of people and the availability of better materials. Among the better materials that have changed the very contours of art and sculpture everywhere is fiberglass. Any metal structure kept in the open and exposed to the elements is coated with paint or varnish. The shine on the metal stays as long as the colour lasts. The moment colour fades away, corrosion sets in and the metal structure withers away in no time. How fiberglass matters in the modern era? The material made out of fusing the resin with molten glass shards turns out to be quite durable, flexible, malleable, and saved from the elements. The modern era is also about developing abstract art forms that ...

There is a renewed focus towards beautification and the sprucing up of landscapes in cities.

And yes, that the beautification effort has an impact on the tourists is not to be overlooked as well. So, what does it take to beautify a city and its suburbs? Apart from the effective functioning of the utility services of a city (read municipal services), there is a need to beautify the many open spaces that dot the cities. And how best to go about achieving the same than by installing statues or sculptures. Yes, the very objects not only look pleasing but also help to reclaim a city’s heritage. Just look at the best cities of the world and you will find beautiful statues or sculptures dotting their landscapes. When it comes to erecting statues made of stone, let us agree that it is a fairly time consuming exercise not to speak o...

The urban landscape around us has become choc-a-bloc with concrete structures. There is hardly any trace of greenery that soothes the eyes or brings relief to the weary soul. The apparent grey landscape replete with concrete jungle is specially stifling for children. Since the wandering and curious minds of children do not get to see nature in its truest form, they often miss the joys of childhood. If nature cannot be recreated in the concrete jungle how about mirroring its aspects through sculptures. One could have well designed sculptures of trees, birds or animals planted in the open spaces. These would not only be a welcome relief for city dwellers especially children but would be a welcoming sight for the tourists as well. Making of sculptures is an elaborate exercise that costs time and money. And in the sleep deprived working hours of today’s workforce, coming up with beautiful sculptures made of stone can be a challenge indeed. So, is there a way out? The answer comes ...

When it comes to filling an empty space, say in your house, garden, patio, park or an office, installing an eye catching sculpture is arguably the best way to go about it. A sculpture not only helps to enhance the visual appeal of a place but thoughtfully connects the viewer to the imagery displayed. It also provides the much needed amusement to children and spreads an all round feel good factor. Although sculptures are made from a number of materials such as concrete, plastic, burnt clay, stone etc., the ones made from fiberglass stand apart for a slew of reasons: Art sculpture Durability:- Is fiberglass more durable than concrete? Yes, for this material made from molten glass can last a long time withstanding the vagaries of nature like extreme cold, heat, frost and rain. If left untouched, a fiberglass sculpture can stand in splendid isolation without developing a crack or bent for a long period of time. This is in stark contrast to concrete that c...
