Description

Relief is a sculptural method in which the sculpted pieces remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb relevare, to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane. When a relief is carved into a flat surface of stone or wood, the field is actually lowered, leaving the unsculpted areas seeming higher. The approach requires a lot of chiselling away of the background, which takes a long time. On the other hand, a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round, especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point, particularly in stone. In other materials such as metal, clay, plaster stucco, ceramics or papier-mâché the form can be simply added to or raised up from the background. Monumental bronze reliefs are made by casting.

புடைப்புச் சிற்பம் (relief) என்பது பின்னணியில் இருந்து உருவங்கள் புடைத்து இருக்கும்படி அமைக்கப்படும் ஒரு சிற்பவகை ஆகும். இச் சிற்பங்களில் செதுக்கப்படும் உருவங்கள் பின்னணியோடு ஒட்டியே இருக்கும். இதனால் இச் சிற்பங்களில் ஓரளவு முப்பரிமாணத் தன்மை காணப்பட்டாலும், உருவங்களின் ஒரு பக்கம் மட்டுமே தெரியக் கூடியதாக அமைந்திருக்கும். தனித்து நிற்கும் முழு உருவச் சிற்பங்களைப் போல் எல்லாப் பக்கங்களையும் பார்க்க முடியாது. எனினும் புடைப்புச் சிற்பங்களின் புடைப்பின் அளவு பல்வேறாக அமைந்திருப்பது உண்டு. மிகச் சிறிய அளவே புடைத்துக் காணப்படும் சிற்பங்களும், உருவங்களின் பெரும் பகுதிகள் தெரியக் கூடியவாறு அமைந்த சிற்பங்களுக்கும் எடுத்துக் காட்டுகள் ஏராளமாக உண்டு.
