Thorough and thoughtful documentation of work plays a highly important role for sculpture and installation practices. In combination with sketches and mockups you may want to highlight for past and upcoming projects, you need an accurate representation of how your work appears when installed or appearing in an exhibition… And then you still need to display the images in an engaging way that feels true to your creative vision.
Doing justice to your 3-dimensional art on a website can feel tricky—but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve rounded up nine sculpture and installation artists who have designed online portfolios that help their work stand out. From large-scale outdoor public works, to tiny and delicate sculptures, their curated online artist portfolios will inspire fresh ideas for your own website.
Angie Seykora
Utilizzo del modello Format: Faro
Nebraska-based artist Angie Seykora works with a range of materials, from the everyday to the repurposed and recycled objects, to create captivating tactile installation and sculptural art. Working with her hands to bend, wrap, stack, and arrange materials in unfamiliar ways, her playful, material-led approach begs viewers to slow down and challenge their assumptions.
Using the Beacon template with a neutral-toned background and simple menu navigation, she created a space containing mixed pullback and detail shots for viewers to explore her individual installation projects.
Samantha Haničar
Utilizzo del modello Format: Chiarezza
Australian artist Samantha Haničar works in sculpture and drawing, centering her practice on industrial materials in cast forms that draw from architectural and structural elements. Each piece essentially created to represent a fragment of a larger whole, they draw attention to both their weight and the voids of space they hold.
Her application of a masonry grid combined with bold blocks of text in the Clarity template beautifully use the white space to highlight the clean lines and weight of her work.
Louis Charles Dionne
Utilizzo del modello Format: Ora
Quebec-based artist Louis Charles Dionne has a dry sense of humour perfectly suited to his subject matter. I had the pleasure of seeing Louis Charles Dionne’s sculptural works in person during an exhibition in Montreal, and they are as clever as they are elegant. Unlike many of the makers on this list, the objects are not intended as functional beauty, rather the point is their dysfunction. The familiar shapes of folders, binders, tissue boxes and rubber-band-balls are carved from marble and stone. Creating monuments to the mundane. Elevating the ephemeral into the permanent weight of these natural materials.
Using the Ora template, he creates a digital space that functions as an index, beautifully restrained and informative around his research and works.
Jonathan Froud
Utilizzo del modello Format: Sierra
British artist Jonathan Froud has exhibited his large-scale sculptural works at the Tate Modern and Serpentine London, in addition to solo shows and commissions. Inspired by natural forms and deeply interested in the fluidity of first glass, then water, and subsequently the interaction of the two forms of matter, he also collaborates with landscape architects on large water projects.
Using the Sierra template, he uses large-scale image grids linking to pages for each of his works, allowing space for full screen photographs and pertinent details about each project.
Pia Antonsen Rognes
Utilizzo del modello Format: Panorama
Norwegian textile artist Pia Antonsen Rognes creates captivating, organic-looking sculptures, pairing neon pink hues with earth tones and mixing pastels with unexpected textures for an unsettling contrast. In her quest for an aesthetic expression of internal monsters, we encounter inspirations such as Barbie, larvae, horror aesthetics and silicone hands, and see how these become part of her sculptural work.
The images on Rognes’ portfolio using the Panorama template fill up the screen, making for an immersive viewing experience.
Matthew Burbidge
Utilizzo del modello Format: Ordine
Artista Matthew Burbidge has shown work in many exhibitions in Germany and across Europe. His practice includes not only sculpture but painting, installation, and collage—a technique brought to mind while exploring the tightly-packed display of his work in harmonious colors.
His website, created with the Order template, offers an extensive archive of his work; each image in the grid expanding to reveal a closer view.
Petrina Ng
Utilizzo del modello Format: Ora
Based in Toronto, artist Petrina Ng works with a range of materials that have included books, dog hair, and beach balls. Also a member of the collaborative group of artists, curators, educators, and florists known as Waard Ward, the group creates floral arrangements while conducting decolonial research and offering floristry education.
On her artist website, created with the Ora template, the sidebar menu divides her personal projects from those of the collective, and titles of different pieces link out to each project displayed in a separate gallery.
Soo Sunny Park
Utilizzo del modello Format: Ordine
New Hampshire-based artist Soo Sunny Park creates mesmerizing, immersive installation art. She’s exhibited in many shows across the United States and beyond. In recent years, her work has moved toward the use of light as a sculptural material. A variety of supporting materials— from plastic cups to fencing to nets—are used to translate the overlap of her drawing, installation, and sculptural work
Park uses a grid-based homepage on the Order template to show off a range of her colorful works, with separate galleries for each project.
Valeria Yamamoto
Utilizzo del modello Format: Sole
Artista Valeria Yamamoto has Japanese-Argentinian roots and currently works in Miami, Florida. Nature is a major inspiration of her often abstract, organic works. Yamamoto’s sculptures range from small-scale, delicate pieces to large public works made of cement or metal.
Using the Sun template to allow the images to fill more of the screen while dividing her online portfolio into separate sections for sculpture, installation, and public art ensures easy navigation without distracting from the work.
