Artist Creates Life-Size Sculptures Of Women Inspired By Renaissance Art, Reveals The Beauty Of Female Form
Chinese artist Luo Li Rong creates life-size bronze sculpture art of women inspired by Renaissance and Baroque sculpting techniques. Her statues are usually captured in motion, often with their dresses or garments seemingly fluttering in the breeze around them, and the artist’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that every crease and fold is precisely where it should be. Rong has been creating modern sculptures for much of her life, having studied at Beijing’s Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of a famous sculptor Wang Du. Later she turned her attention to sculpting techniques used by European artists in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, something that seems to define much of her contemporary, realistic artworks. Scroll down for some of her best sculptures, combining the best of Renaissance and modern art techniques.

Share on FacebookThis is absolutely wonderful work. But I am still curious as to why oriental artists, almost to a person, seem to use Western(Caucasian) subjects instead of fellow orientals. Its almost as though they have elevated westerners over themselves. Does anyone have any thoughts here?
I don't think, that this artist choose to create a caucasian face because she wanted to elevate westerners over her own race. Many westerners love to paint or are inspired by oriental people too! She may "admire" caucasian figures and she felt inspired to create this sculpures, but to "admire" is way different than to "elevate" one thing over another. Moreover, the text says that she is inspired by Renaissance art, so this may be the specific reason why this sculptures have an european look.

I know, but its a shame, I do love the sound of the word Oriental. Like I love the word mulatto, but you can't use it

Yep. Thought the exact same thing about Charlize Theron!

They are beautiful. Beautifully chosen in their aspect; the movement in the bodies, a joyous graceful movement, is also superbly done. But why oh why does the artist stick to standard memes? This isn't "the female form". It's A female form: that of a young, well proportioned, pre-childbearing, female. The pregnant form is female, too you know. So is the post partum one. The middle aged form of a woman who has produced a couple of kids and has a less than perfect figure; the middle aged woman whose hormonal changes have brought about a rounder, softer, form -- they are ALL "the female form". I'm getting so tired of this. I saw a TV thing on YouTube a while back of a piece called "What women of the world think of Vladimir Putin". Well, every one of these "Women" was about 25, none older than maybe 30, slimmish, nicely dressed and attractive. It seems that if you are any different to this, you aren't a woman. You couldn't be more wrong.
Absolutely stunning what our hands can achieve in creating and bringing hyper realism to a whole new level. The artist would've had to think about the design, sketch them, then put it into the intended form of the statue, that's a lot of work which has richly paid off visually, hope it did financially too.
From the sculptor's perspective ... it might be difficult to let her works go.

I prefer the natural color of the medium on some of these. Either way, very interesting and beautiful work.
So beautiful..thank you for showing us,your work,joy,your life's work..love it
These are all so stunning! So realistic looking! Beautiful, wonderful work.
¡¡¡Resplended artist!!! Her sculptures are so beautifully expressive. I love this creatione.
Absolutely beautiful.I would enjoy so much to have statues like this in public places,not only because they are stunning pieces of art,but because they show real women bodies.It is about time to throw away the skinny,anxious,souless photoshoped images and remember the natural beautiful.
Breeze? Some of them look like they are standing in a tornado! Very fine work.
Love how the artist captures the feminine beauty in each piece. Very sexy!
An absolutely stunning work of arts! It's one in a million! Really great job!
Beauty of a particular female form. Sure there Arsenal's pleasing but also i feel pretty meh about them. I appreciate the mastery I'm this but it doesn't say anything new or interesting.
Inspired by Renaissance art? How? All I can see is a barely dressed woman in different positions. With big nipples.
You obviously haven't seen a lot of Renaissance art.
