Authors : Khaldi Khaled .
Abstract
Sculpture is considered one of the visual arts that have greatly influenced humanity in shaping its identities. It has played a significant role in embodying the details of history across time in shaping religious, political and economic beliefs. It has contributed greatly to enhancing and developing aesthetic visual awareness, representing cultural connections, and achieving identity in a way that reflects the symbolic expression of the individual through these three-dimensional forms. This paper aims to identify the distinctive characteristics of some sculptures by the Algerian artists Mohamed Boukerch and Ali Yamani through an aesthetic and artistic approach. These artists combined the symbolic and aesthetic dimensions in a philosophy that accentuate the Algerian reality, achieving a unique style. They drew inspiration from sensory and aesthetic desires through the kinetic skills and intense emotions they acquired to express national identity with their individual ideas and talents. The study explores how they employ the symbolism of the body within their sculptural works. What are the implications of these representations within the context of Algerian identity and culture? This study aims to foster critical and creative thinking through analytical analysis.
