David Seils Relief

Black Mountain, North Carolina 28711, United States

Created By: Black Mountain Center for the Arts

Information

This three dimensional relief wall sculpture on the East wall of our Clay Studio was created by local artist David Seils. The artist/sculptor has revived an art style that has been used for thousand of years to decorate walls and the frieze of buildings, relief sculpture. In the past, artwork was tediously carved in marble or limestone to only a depth of a few inches to create the illusion of depth. With the advantage of new materials, the same effect can be accomplished by building up the relief sculpture instead of carving.
