Art Sculpture Analysis

The Trailblazer is realistic but also has a touch of idealism added into its conceptualism.
When viewing the piece one can see the muscles and facial expression which suggests realism . Also the muscles are well defined creating shadow and intensity. The face is at piece with a slight smile to welcome you to look all around her. She is standing as most bicyclist would when at a halt, with one foot on the peddle and the other planted firmly on the ground. She is gazing forward as if frozen in time. The woman lacked any deformities or irregularities, which was the point of the piece considering it was to signify an idealistic view of a strong woman. Even though the texture is rough due to the realistic folds in her her shirt and waviness of her hair, she remains very smooth throughout. The tires on the bicycle are also rough but the rest is smooth just like her muscles and skin. She has no movement or interaction in plan, she is paused in a moment. Which draws me to the conclusion that the Trailblazer is closed spatial composition.
