Soft, stretched, cast
Rubber is an unusual material for sculpture: pliable, smooth, sometimes glossy like latex, sometimes matte like a tire. You can look for rubber sculptures for sale if you want art with play and surprise.
Rubber can be cast, cut, stretched, glued and vulcanized. That produces inflatable forms, cut reliefs, bands that stretch and bodies that spring back after pressure. The material carries traces of industry, toys and everyday life and turns them into art.

Care and location
Rubber reacts to light, heat and ozone. Direct sun makes it brittle, heat makes it tacky. Put the sculpture in a cool, shaded spot and clean it with lukewarm water. Avoid oils and solvents. When moving house, store the piece unpacked and without pressure, since rubber otherwise takes on lasting dents.
Signposts
Figurative work is found under statues, free forms under abstract. Price bands such as 1,000 to 2,000 euro and 2,000 to 5,000 euro help with placing things.
