Man on the Wall: A Fusion of Art and Utility

Santad Kaewudom's Award-Winning Functional Sculpture

Exploring the intersection of art and functionality, Santad Kaewudom's "Man on the Wall" is a decorative sculpture that adds a touch of aesthetic appeal and physical utility to any space. Inspired by action movies and the portrayal of power and masculinity, this unique piece of art serves as a wall decoration and a hanger for items such as belts, hats, or clothes.

The "Man on the Wall" is not just a decorative piece; it's a functional sculpture that stands out from other designs due to its dual purpose. It's a testament to Kaewudom's innovative approach to design, which involves careful consideration of materials, structure, and installation methods. The sculpture's actions represent the effects of reflex to the momentum, unified in direction and intensity, reflecting a response from casualty.

Creating the "Man on the Wall" involved a meticulous process of wax modeling, silicone molding, and the use of brass material. The production elements of this project were carefully chosen to ensure the final product was not only visually appealing but also sturdy and functional. The sculpture's dimensions vary, making it a versatile piece that can be accommodated in various spaces.

The "Man on the Wall" is a product of extensive research into the functionality of artwork. It draws inspiration from media and physical violence, depicting the fluidity of intense emotions through the momentum of the structural design. This focus undermines the pop culture view of blunt force and explores the physical form of casualty.

One of the main challenges in creating the "Man on the Wall" was designing the posture to assimilate a life-like gesture for the brass sculptures. The polishing details maintain the fluidity of the limbs structure to the main structural composition of the artwork. Despite these challenges, Kaewudom and his team, including Monsicha Boonmongkolkit, were able to create a masterpiece that is as functional as it is beautiful.

The "Man on the Wall" is more than just a sculpture; it's a statement piece that serves a practical purpose. It's a testament to Kaewudom's innovative approach to design and his ability to create pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The sculpture's success is evident in its recognition, having been awarded the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2016 for its outstanding and trendsetting creation.
