vulnerability/fragility

Taking this post to look at a few artist that i feel, portray a sense of vulnerability/fragility with in their art work.

 Australian-born sculptor, Ron Mueck, creates some of the most realistic and detailed sculptures around . Twisted Sifter notes: “Mueck explores the human condition and psyche, often conveying feelings of loneliness, vulnerability and alienation.”

 This next artist i have never heard of, and no little about,,, But saying that, this sculptors captures the raw feelings of vulnerability and the fragile nature of life 

 Mt Macedon Cemetery in Victoria, Australia is home to Peter Schipperheyn’s dramatic sculpture “Asleep”. It is one of the most intriguing and beautiful contemporary works of art I’ve come across in recent years. The beautiful contradiction between the young women’s vulnerability and the unsettling surroundings of the cemetery. The way her right hand lovingly grips the edge of the tombstone. It simply takes my breath away every time I look at it. The story goes that the artist was commissioned by a woman to make this sculpture and to place it on top of the grave of her late husband, Laurence. To me the sculpture is the perfect embodiment of one’s deepest emotions after the passing away of a loved one; to be there with them, to desperately hold on and to never let go.
