What is cubic sculpture?

A cubic sculpture is a three-dimensional artwork that is created using cubic shapes or forms. These sculptures can be made from a variety of materials such as stone, metal, clay, wood, or glass. They can be realistic or abstract and may have a range of sizes and colors.

Cubic sculptures emerged as an art form during the Cubist movement in the early 20th century when artists began exploring geometric shapes, including the cube. Artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were famous for their use of cubism in their sculpture and paintings.

Cubic sculptures are regarded as simple and minimalistic yet complex art forms, showing the intricacies of controlling negative space. A cubic sculpture can appear static and expressive simultaneously, bringing out a sense of volume and harmony.

Many contemporary artists continue to create cubic sculptures today, incorporating new materials and technologies to produce innovative works that explore ideas about space, time, and motion. Some examples of well-known cubic sculptures include "Tete de Femme" by Picasso and "Construction in Steel" by Naum Gabo.
