Ice Sculptures of Melting Men by Nele Azevedo

By Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on Aug 17, 2008 at 2:30 am


Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo’s artwork is cool … literally! In this art installation, Nele created hundreds of sitting figures out of ice – the installation lasted till the last one melted in the heat of the day:

    Climate change metaphors aside, it's a great study on life in general. We burn ourselves up sitting as an audience, watching the show. The unwashed masses.

    Neat.

    Don't know if I'd call it "art", but interesting.

    wow yeah... that's incredible metaphorically and physically... plus this guy is really good at ice sculptures because the little men are fantastic

    of course its art, putting living fish in blenders and let the audience push the button is also art, as long as you have a point!!

    It was an interesting scene. All figurative sculptures are made of moulds? A good idea to show the sculptures.
    We habe been making indoor the ice sculpture shows, mostly in Europe. Hope there is a chance to make one in Brazil in joint efforts with a Brazilian company. For more information, please refer to our website:www.china-ice-sculture.com
