Monolithic sculpture refers to a type of artwork carved from a single block of material, such as stone or wood, rather than constructed from multiple pieces. This technique often results in large, solid forms that exhibit a sense of unity and strength. Monolithic sculptures are commonly associated with ancient cultures, where they were used to create monumental figures or structures, reflecting the values and beliefs of the society that produced them. The term can also imply a singular artistic vision or style inherent in the piece.
How can there be an antonym? What could the opposite of sculpture be? Non-sculpture?
Absolutely, both in terms of composition and also of applique. Look up "Painted Greek Sculpture", just to start, and know that then as now, every surface has a finish; whether deliberately applied or organically created, all elements of painting are fully vested in sculpture, and should be appreciated as such. Of course, a deliberate intention or approach to the surface qualities of a sculpture will imbue it with greater meaning, and therefore enhance it's value- postmodernism aside, I suppose....
