sculpto-painting panels


Explanation:
Sculpto-painting (or sculptopainting) is a combination of painting and sculpting techniques. The result is a two-dimensional sculpture similar to a relief sculpture with the addition of pigments.
The term was first used to describe the work of Ukrainian-born sculptor Alexander Archipenko, for his work "Espanola (Still Life with Head)" in 1906.
