How do artists address public perceptions of “artificiality” in composite material animal sculptures?
Artists working with composite materials to create animal sculptures often face public skepticism about the "artificiality" of their work. To address this, many emphasize the intentional blending of modern materials with traditional artistic values, highlighting the craftsmanship and conceptual depth behind each piece. Techniques like textured finishes, naturalistic detailing, and dynamic forms help bridge the gap between synthetic materials and organic appeal. Additionally, artists engage audiences through exhibitions and narratives that explain their creative process, reinforcing the authenticity of their vision. By embracing transparency and innovation, they challenge perceptions and redefine what "real" art can be in contemporary sculpture.
