When it comes to a bas-relief on the wall, namely a plaster bas-relief - a current modern trend in the design of spaces, even professional designers do not always have a complete understanding of the variety of types of bas-relief and the entire palette of options for their use. In this material, we will analyze in detail the distinctive features of the types of bas-relief, and talk about how you can use a bas-relief on the wall in an interior design project.
WHAT IS A GYPSUM BAS-RELIEF?
A simple definition of a bas-relief on the wall, which is given to us by the encyclopedia - a type of relief sculpture in which the image protrudes above the background plane by no more than half of its volume. Unlike a regular full sculpture, which can be walked around 360 degrees, a plaster bas-relief is attached to the wall and does not allow you to view it from all sides. It is easy to understand what a bas-relief on a wall looks like: imagine a bowling ball or a watermelon, cut it in half and glue the cut side to the wall - this will become a bas-relief.
TYPES OF BAS-RELIEF
The main types of bas-relief, or rather relief sculpture, include high relief, bas-relief itself (or low relief) and counter-relief.
• High relief
High relief is called high relief. This is our very plaster watermelon, which protrudes more than half from the wall surface. Figures on such a bas-relief in some compositions can even stand alone, provided that other elements of the bas-relief are partially immersed on the wall. This type of bas-relief is incredibly expressive and requires high skill and experience of the manufacturer.
• Bas-relief
As we have already said above, if no more than half of the volume of the figure protrudes from the wall surface, then you have a bas-relief (synonym "low relief") in front of you. Bas-relief on the wall is a very current trend on the one hand, and a classic rooted in the history of art and architecture on the other.
• Counter-relief
Counter-relief is a recessed type of bas-relief. If you print our watermelon on a soft surface, for example, in clay, you will get a counter-relief - a recess in which the imprint of the object is visible. This is, so to speak, a negative of the bas-relief.
Thus, there are three main types of bas-relief: high relief, bas-relief (also known as low relief) and counter-relief. When creating an interior design project with a bas-relief on the wall, you can use any of these variations.
