The functions and uses of garden sculptures

Garden sculptures are a form of environmental art that lies between painting and architecture. Their expression requires support and attachment. Some sculpture works are independent, while some are used to embellish architectural spaces. An independent garden sculpture is set at a certain location due to the nature of the sculpture art itself. The garden sculptures used to embellish architectural spaces are related to the buildings they adorn. This relationship not only determines the form of the sculpture works but also, in most cases, their content. In essence, garden sculptures are a combination of these two different types of sculptures.

The theme of garden sculptures is to beautify the environmental space to meet people's aesthetic appreciation needs. Therefore, garden sculptures are different from commemorative sculptures. Their main function is to make the sculpture works more beautiful, colorful, and pleasing to the eye, emphasizing the decorative aspect. So, most of the garden sculptures we see now are abstract or semi - abstract works with decorative themes. In form, their craftsmanship and interestingness are highlighted to form an embellishment in the green space.
