3D printed sculptures of Mike K Viner

Dear friends!
We are glad to inform you that the famous Israeli artist Mike K. Viner http://www.vinersculptures.com together with the team of his associates have created the website to sell the replicas of his sculptures-caricatures. These unique collection figurines copy authentic sculptures by Mike K. Viner and they are made due to a modern technology - 3d printing.

How does it work?
First, Mike K. Viner works on his sculpture- caricature as usual. He makes every colored detail of polymer clay manually. A finished sculpture is subjected to heat treatment. Then he with his team scan this sculpture by 3d scanner making the model match the original sculpture precisely and, finally, print it by modern 3d printer. Each step of this process is laborious and time- consuming. Moreover, it requires much more efforts than, for example, usual molding and following painting of the sculpture. Mike K. Viner has chosen this way of creating the copies of his sculptures deliberately because he is convinced that a coat of paint makes the sculpture look less realistic. He avoids this while creating the originals and accordingly in copies as well. As a result we have a kind of unique symbiosis of the author's art work and modern technology.

We invite everyone who is interested in Mike K. Viner ‘s sculptures- caricatures to visit this website
