Adam Beane’s Miniature Lives

August 11th, 2009

I’ve always been amazed by Bernini’s sculptural genius, his ability to capture living flesh, breathing individuals in marble. I adore figurative sculpture, probably because I love the human face in all of its idiosyncrasies. I have also always loved miniature work, for the care and meticulous work that goes into them. Adam Beane has captured my eye, and my admiration. He is a model sculptor, creating prototypes for the many collectable models you see lining the shelves of geeks worldwide. But wow… is his work ever incredible. I so hope he doesn’t go under appreciated.

Adam Beane sculpts “exclusively in CX5, a tremendously versatile material [he] developed which handles like clay when warm but is hard as plastic when cool.” I’d love to get my hands on some of that. Wow.
