Boing Boing blogs a posting on Nightmarish statue at The National Bowling Stadium in Reno, NV. The "realistic" bronze figures have a ghoulish look about them, and the action that the sculptor is seeking to capture, a family running forward to the lanes, becomes completely distorted.

This is quite a common effect with such realism, especially if there is an attempt to give some action to the scene. More formal sculptures don't quite have the same feeling. I'm interested in the "creepiness" of realistic statues of the human form, and the relationship between such statues and ideas we have about non-material human presence (through memories, spirits, ghosts, etc).


An article I wrote on Chinese sculptor Wang Keping talks about this a bit.
