While I was at the Shemer Art Center on Sunday, I stopped in the gallery to see the current exhibit. The name of the exhibit is "Materialize" and it's all about 3-D printing. Artists were challenged to create works of art using the unique capabilities of a 3-D printer. My favorite pieces in this exhibit were these by artist Xinggang Wang. The description said they were made of wood and acrylic and they were priced $5000.00 each so I'm guessing it took quite a lot of work to create them.
The one above is called "Soldier" and the one in the back is called "Scholar".
I was really taken by these pieces. They are very subtle yet speak volumes.

I like them, they are very characterful!
For art done with the help of a 3-d printer it is really good. Although a bit pricey.
He's praying? Politician?
Interesting but as Stefan said, a bit pricey.
Even with no faces, they do express themselves well.
They are quite good, Sharon. Now 3-D printers will create art? I guess that is where technology is leading us.
I am so tall that I usually have to crouch to get to subjects' eye level. When I crouched, Atlas lunged forward, which was the next (unshown) photograph. He didn't seem to dislike me. He just thought I wanted to play with him.
I don't understand 3-D printing but I like these figures. My first thought was "Chairman Mao"!
I remember when Holograms were first developed and artists though it would be a great medium but it never was successful for much other than kitschy trinkets & awful religious pics. I wonder if 3-D printing will be a better medium. I do like these pieces but wow they are pricey!
I'm not too sure I get the 3D bit either but I kind of like them. That's probably because I love wood!
I rather like them. I have watched a 3D printer at work. It's entirely different than what's come before.
Interesting artwork.
These wonderful figures won't go into ordinary people's life I presume...
I like the sleek clean lines of the figures.
