On The Formal Features Of Minimalist Sculpture

The influence that Minimalism sculpture reflects on the post-modern art is enormous. Tostudy sculpture language under post-modern context, as well as to promote contemporarysculpture creation practice, it is significant to find out the development process ofsculpture from simplism form language to minimalism form language. First of all, basedon the contracted style that exists in the traditional sculpture, the context comes to aconclusion from the development of simplism sculpture and the study of the developmentprocess of contemporary sculpture since Rodin, which are several form languages, namelysimplism/deconstruction/performance/composition/minimalism. Contemporary sculpturefrom simplism to minimalism is closely related to the development of abstract sculpture,which promoted sculpture from modernism to post-modernism. Secondly, through the studyof the shape object change within abstract sculpture, the context reorganizes the developmentprocess of simplism and minimalism, trying to find out the influence that the minimalismform language reflected on the development of sculpture language. Therefore, in the secondpart, the context is emphasizing the comparison research of minimalism sculptors on creationconcept, material, time, color contrast research and work, etc. In graphic way, the contextconcludes several key words of minimalism form language: body, plural and build. Last butnot the least, the context finds out that minimalism sculpture extends and develops‘space’, the basic language, based on previous studies, which is the further resultcombined with body, plural and build.The context aims to find out the features of minimalism sculpture based on the study ofminimalism form language within abstract sculpture, and reorganizes the developmentprocess of simplism within modernism and post-modernism,trying to figure out the coreof language development of minimalism sculpture, and discusses the effects thatminimalism form language reflecting on sculpture creation, in the basis of sculpturepractice.
