Sculpture Month Houston, Altamira: The Urge To Create refers to the famous prehistoric cave in Northern Spain where approximately 17,000 to 16,000 years ago the Cro-Magnon people created magnificent, and now famous, cave paintings. They are similar to those in Lascaux and Chauvet in France. Along with early carvings made out of animal bones or mammoth ivory, like the “Lion-man” or diverse Venus effigies, these paintings can be considered the origin of art as we know it today.
The suggestion to our participating artists is: sit back and picture yourself as a cave artist but with the entire array of modern technology at your disposal. Explore and tie into this “primal urge to create” that compelled our ancestors to become curious and inquisitive about human existence and to transform their observations into tangible images.
