In the construction of a city, stainless steel sculptures are indispensable. You may see sculptures of different styles, including figures and animals. Some people may only notice the overall style, but not many pay attention to the pedestal of the sculpture. In fact, the pedestal plays an important role in shaping a successful sculpture.
The positional relationship between the main body of the stainless steel sculpture and its base, as the name suggests, implies that the base should be positioned at the bottom of the sculpture's main body. Just like laying a solid foundation before building a house, the foundation supports the entire structure. Similarly, the base supports the main body of the sculpture. The base unifies the overall form and ensures the stability of the sculpture.
The relationship between the main body and the base of a stainless steel sculpture lies in their volume. To highlight the main body in terms of volume, the base's volume should be well controlled, without taking on the appearance of the main body. Generally, the base of a figure sculpture is relatively small. For example, the base of a graphic of the same size is only 15 centimeters high, approximately 60 centimeters long and wide. This is to highlight the main body of the figure. Of course, if a sculpture of a great person is created, adjustments have to be made, as the sculpture of a great person has a special status and is admired by people. It is usually placed in an open square space, which is like a large urban sculpture that requires a suitable price to increase its base to coordinate with the surrounding spatial environment. On the one hand, it highlights the tall image of the great person, and on the other hand, it meets the needs of the entire large space.
3. Regarding the relationship between the main body and the base of a stainless steel sculpture, in the treatment of the sculpture's main body and the base body, the base serves as a functional body that sets off the main body of the sculpture. It is necessary to fully utilize its setting-off role in the treatment of the form. In order to highlight the rich and diverse forms of the sculpture itself, a sculpture requires the background of the larger environment, and another key is the base.
The shape of the pedestal should match the shape of the main body of the sculpture. When the shape of the main body of the sculpture undergoes simple changes, the shape of the pedestal should not be more complex than that of the main body. In this case, the pedestal is generally chosen to be a simple cube or rectangular parallelepiped. When the shape of the main body of the sculpture is rich and varied, the pedestal can be appropriately adjusted according to the needs of the main body to coordinate the relationship. If the richness or complexity of the base exceeds that of the main body of the sculpture, it will distract the attention of the viewer from the main body of the sculpture, and such a sculpture will lose its significance.
