What some of us have believed to be true, like that Ancient Greek sculptures completely lacked color, is wrong. As it turns out, they were vibrantly painted with pigments made of natural ingredients. A sculptor is capable of pouring out their feelings, experiences, and beliefs into 3D works of art while adding their own twist to them.
The following works of art need no description to make us go through all the feels, and Bright Side thought of spicing up your day with access to a virtual art exhibit right at your fingertips.

4. John Buckley, The Headington Shark
5. Duane Hanson, Man on a Bench
6. Chen Pao-chung, Hippo Square
7. Lise Cormier, Mother Earth
8. Han Hsu-Tung, Chess
9. Hans-Jörg Limbach, Think Partner
