Bronze Sculpture

In Australia, bronze works well for outdoor sculpture because it is corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant. Larger sculptures can be supported by bronze because it is a very robust material as well. The lovely golden hue of bronze statues won’t deteriorate with time. A patina, which is forced oxidisation produced by carefully regulated chemical and thermal processes, can be applied to bronze sculptures as well. This considerably reduces maintenance requirements while also enhancing the sculpture’s longevity. Many monumental works throughout history have been created using this medium.

Mild Steel Sculpture

In Australia, mild steel is a common material for outdoor contemporary art as it is sturdy and long-lasting while still being lightweight and convenient to handle. It is highly adaptable because it is simple to weld and mould into any shape needed, and won’t corrode or rust.

Corten Steel Sculpture

A type of steel called corten steel develops a protective surface of rust naturally over time. It is therefore perfect for Australian outdoor sculptures, and because of its strength, it can sustain being shaped into much larger and heavier pieces. Furthermore, Corten steel requires no painting or special treatments and is extremely low maintenance. Any landscape may be given interest and character by using outdoor steel sculptures made of Corten without having to worry about maintenance.

Stainless-Steel Sculpture

Stainless steel is a popular choice for modern garden sculptures, public art and outdoor features as it can be cast, fabricated, and machined to create endless forms and finished with many different surface finishes and colour effects.

The beauty of stainless steel is that it does not rust and strongly resists degradation. There are different grades of stainless steel, for instance, a 304-grade is used on many art features, but where items are to be placed either in gardens or public places near the coast, 316-grade stainless steel is often recommended as it is even more resistant.

Categories of Contemporary & Metal Sculpture In Melbourne

Figurative Sculpture

Figurative sculpture is a category of sculpture that focuses on the depiction of the human form, animals or other recognisable objects. Figurative sculptures can be highly realistic, abstract, or stylised, and can be created using a variety of materials such as stone, bronze, or even mixed media. Figurative sculptures have a rich history dating back to ancient civilisations and continue to be a popular genre in contemporary art.

This category of sculpture allows artists to explore and interpret the human experience, capturing emotion, movement, and form in a way that is both captivating and thought-provoking. Whether created as a stand-alone piece or as part of a larger installation, figurative sculptures can evoke a range of emotions and inspire viewers to see the world in new and meaningful ways.

Surrealism Sculpture

Abstract sculptures are often viewed as symbolic of the subconscious, and they can be crafted from a range of materials, though metal or stone are often the most prevalent. Surrealist sculptures, on the other hand, frequently incorporate unexpected pairings of objects to create a dreamy or eerie quality. They frequently employ illusions and negative space to achieve their effects.

Realism Sculpture

Realist sculptures aim to depict their subject matter as accurately as possible, using techniques like detailed carving or casting in metals and sometimes utilising unconventional materials like clay or plaster. They often portray everyday scenes or the human form in a lifelike manner, allowing viewers to see through the artist's eyes and gain insight into their world and perspectives.

Australian Sculpture

It's evident that Australian sculpture is ubiquitous, appearing in many places such as parks or urban areas. Although some might find these artworks unusual or intimidating, they undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on their surroundings. ARTpark's contemporary sculptures contribute to and enhance any environment, whether it be natural or man-made. We collaborate with our clients to identify the perfect location and installation view for their metal garden sculptures in Melbourne.
