CORRECT ANSWER
1) Yes. There are a number of living sculptors capable of this calibre of work. (See: Barry Davies for example)
2) The stylistic influences of the present favor more twisting: Classicals > Renaissance > Modern > 20th (Rodin) > Current. In other words, the style has become style for style’s sake and the contemporary works are a bit absurd or exaggerated in pose.
3) No, no one can afford the time to produce the equivalent of that net – it’s a magnum opus for a sculptor daring others to match the feat.
4) No one could affor to wait for a work of that calibre today, and we have no civic architecture worthy of housing it. So we have no wealthy patrons willing to pay for it. Because that’s who pays for heroic monumental sculpture: wealthy people who want a public legacy.
5) Machines are able to achieve in fairly short time what it took months or years for humans to produce. So, we need only produce public spaces worthy of sculture again. 😉
