Beginning on Friday, September 23, Robin Antar (who is known for her unique stone sculptures of realism) and 39 other artists, are going to be juried by judge David Masello  for the FilmOnArts 2nd Annual Juried Show at Rogue Space in Chelsea. Of these 40 talented artists, only one of them will be selected for a solo show, reception, and a screening of the documentary that is created about their art. Being the selected artist is a great honor, as there are artists presenting art from a wide range of categories. These categories include: Painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and illustration.

Robin Antar will be presenting in the category of sculpture, as she is an accomplished artist who has sculpted abstract sculptures and representational sculptures. In regards to her representational sculptures, Ms. Antar is recognized for her Realism in Stone collection. This collection of contemporary sculptures displays iconic items in American culture, and it helps preserve them for future generations. Because of these modern sculptures, we can be assured that there will be an accurate visual account of what the world was like nowadays many years from now.

There’s no doubt that Ms. Antar will be facing stiff competition from the 39 other artists, as they are all accomplished artists in their own right.

Robin Antar, the artist who is widely known for her stone sculptures of realism, has been working on creating a couple of abstract sculptures. One of those sculptures that she is working on is known as 2 Figures. This contemporary sculpture is made from 600 pounds of brown alabaster and its sculpting process was started in the state of Colorado.

When Ms. Antar sculpts her modern sculptures, she is very precise and accurate so that she can achieve exactly what she set out to from the start. So whether it is a representational sculpture of a bag of M&M’s or an abstract piece, the artist needs her full concentration to get the sculpture just right. Because art is one of the greatest forms of inner expression, every line and every ridge matters because each one helps tell a more complete story.

In addition to the actual sculpting, the choice of medium also helps depict a more accurate expression of what the artist is trying to convey to the audience. So in the case of Ms. Antar’s latest sculpture, her use of brown alabaster was a conscious choice, which helped her express herself in the most exact way.
