Stone carving is an ancient activity where pieces of rough natural stone are
shaped by the controlled removal of stone.
The quality of the material is an extremely important part of the sculptural
process. Just as the Shilpa Shastra set out the measurements and techniques
of sculpting, the sculptors here have also gone into a detail regarding the
quality of stone, its maturity, texture, colour and other things. Also the
homogeneity of the stone is important for the stability and durability of
the final form.
Bronze is the most popular metal for cast metal sculptures. Narasimha Hegde
has carved a name in Bronze Sculpting and has till date sculpted several
Indian Dieties. Bronze is the preferred choice for sculpting because it is
strong and holds its shape. It is also comparatively lighter than marble and
is hence easy to transport.
