REGULARITIES OF RELATIONSHIP OF MONUMENTAL-DECORATIVE SCULPTURE AND OPEN PUBLIC SPACE

Abstract

Taking into account the peculiarities of the relationship between the open public space of the architectural environment and the monumental and decorative sculpture, the article examines the main patterns of the relationship between sculpture and urban space. It also identified and analyzed the importance of taking into account the main factors that affect the perception of a sculptural composition in any type of urban space: scale ratio, methods of placement, formation of the environment, generalization of the silhouette, detailing and perception of the expressiveness of the silhouette of a sculpture in specific spatial situations. The analysis and systematization of information sources of a theoretical and practical nature regarding the designated topic highlighted the current state of the problem of the relationship between sculpture and the open public space of the architectural environment, revealed the importance of taking into account the main factors in the perception of sculptural plastic in space. In the process of studying the main existing theories, methods, scientific approaches, techniques, historical and practical experience of the relationship between sculptural sculpture and the open public space of the architectural environment, general patterns of perception of sculpture – its scale relationship with space, ways of placing sculptures, shaping the environment, as well as individual regularities – generalizations of the silhouette, detail and plastic quality, expressiveness of the silhouette, depending on the directions of perception of the sculpture when it is introduced into the architectural environment.
 As a result of research and analysis, a general conclusion was made: monumental and decorative sculpture, which is introduced into the urban environment, is inextricably linked with public space and therefore has special qualities and means of expression that allow you to create a general synthetic architectural and artistic image of space at a new qualitative level to create general compositional integrity and the formation of a single spatial-plastic ensemble in the architectural environment.
