US contemporary artist Welly Fletcher builds a bridge to prehistoric cave art with a Large-Format 3D printed sculpture made with BigRep ONE.

40,000 years ago, cave-dwelling Homo sapiens carved out a sculpture of a lion man into an ivory tusk using primitive chisels and tools.

The sculpture, which was discovered almost 100 years ago in a cave in south Germany, remains the earliest known example of Homo sapien art - and serves as a stark reminder of the extraordinary cognitive traits which have allowed our species to develop societies, religions, and technologies.

After experiencing the prehistoric sculpture in the Museum of Ulm in Germany firsthand, Albuquerque-based artist Welly Fletcher was inspired to create a sculpture for their latest exhibition SLANT at the Richard Levy Gallery in New Mexico. The sculpture explores the historic symbiosis of art, technology, and our species' kinship with animals.
