Sculptor Paul Kamish
has revived the ancient Greek and Roman form of art;
“Relief Sculpture”.
He has injected his own innovates to create a classic and
truly unique piece of Fine Art.
Kamish begin each work of art by composing a number of sketches and
finished drawing and paintings of his concept.
Kamish then sculpts the piece in an oil-based clay that only acts as the
form that will be
cast into an original sculpture.
From the clay sculpture, a master mold is made, the clay is
destroyed in the process, and an exact likeness of the clay sculpture is
captured.
From this master mold, each sculpture from the edition is individual
cast in Kamish’s innovative bonded-bronze process in which the bronze
surface layer is backed by a light-weight resin material.
Each sculpture is hand-patinas with multiple layers creating a rich and
magnificent bronze
finish.
Each work of art is signed and
numbered by the artist and finished in a custom shadow-box
frame of museum quality.
The finished piece weighs only
40 pounds
which makes these sculptures easy to hang in your home or office.

The
Artist
Although Paul Kamish works in a variety of mediums he is best know for his work in relief. “To call my artwork bas-relief,” says Kamish, "is not entirely accurate, in that bas-relief technically refers to low relief sculpture.
My art contains a portion of bas relief, but the majority of the sculpture is much deeper. In fact, much of the sculpture actually comes in full-round rising toward the viewer. Full round arms and leg leaves the background extending into space.
Technically, sculptures combining
various levels of relief and full-round parts are called
Alto (high) Relief
sculptures. A similar technique has been used on classic Roman and Greek
buildings.”
The unique distinction in Kamish’s work is that along with Alto aspects of deep, he adds a sight of perspective and depth of field that can only be achieve in relief. You see this illusion made in a painting, but this illusion could not be accomplished in a sculpture in the full round. “This vast ability to create extraordinary depth and the illusion of great distance in just a few inches with the physical and directional aspects of sculpture is why I prefer relief sculpture to any other form of art.”
The sculpture hangs on a wall and comes our several inches. By mastering these techniques, Kamish is able to create a visual space relationship of several hundred feet. It draws the viewer in. Rather than a causal observer, the viewer now becomes an active participant in the drama unfolding before his eyes.
Without a doubt, Paul Kamish’s creations are strikingly unique in the
world of contemporary art.
