EPS Foam Block Sculptures

Check out some of the awesome sculptures that have been created using EPS Foam Blocks. 

EPS foam is great for carving due to its ability to be shaped, its light weight quality, and its ability to be painted and sealed over. Here are some talented projects that have been done in the past through Universal Foam Company!

                                                                                                             

This sculpture is titled " La Siren" and created by sculptor John Herasymiuk. He used 1.5 lb density of expanded polystyrene 36" x 48" x 96".The Sculpture is displayed at the New Orleans Healing Center until October 2014.















John also created these sculptures!  The EPS sculptures are coated with Styro Spray for protection and to obtain the desired finish. Each large sculpture takes about 10 days to complete. 

                                                                                                             

Edge Concrete hand sculpts 2 lb. Virgin EPS Foam to create themed artistic elements for Zoos, Aquariums and Museums. Their artisans hand sculpt the foam to create the desired shape. The foam is then coated with a fiber filled resin for a structure coat that hardens followed by a texture coat and then hand painted to create the finished product. To the left is an example of one of their projects.

                                                                                                                                   

Sturms Special Effects created a full size model of a walrus out of EPS to be a new model for the company Land's End.  The initial concept sketch was transferred onto the EPS block and then carved into the walrus. For the photo-shoot he was dressed, photographed, and photoshopped for the cover of their catalog. 

                                                                                                                               

EPS foam is also used to create cake dummies and cake pop stands. Cake dummies are often used in bakeries for display cakes or in real cakes to make them appear larger than they really are. To the left is an example of on that one of our customers created.

                                                                                                                                  

Harvest Time, a church, did a sermon series called LEGOS, connecting with Christ. They ordered 2" think and 4" thick foam sheets. They created a fully functional Lego man suit to create a fun environment and background for pictures. 

                                                                                                                                   

Xpressive GraphiX created a marketing piece for Muskingum County Business Incubator. They created the "Journey Tree" which represented an entrepreneurs personal journey from a simple idea to an enormous success by embracing the support of the Business Incubator. The concept was born from a series of brainstorming sessions with a team of people from the MCBI and Xpressive graphiX. From the very onset they wanted to do something “different”, something that would make a statement. EPS and Styrofoam Brand foam were considered for the project.  They decided to utilize EPS foam to make their brainchild a reality.

They ordered 4 foam blocks measuring 10"x4"x3", each weighing 125 lbs. They loved using the foam because of its light weight medium making it mobile, and it was easily assembled and disassembled. They were able to cut the foam with minimal effort in order to begin forming the shapes which were than affixed to the tree. Every piece of this enormous sculpture, which stood 12′ tall x 8′ wide x 6′ deep was completely hand crafted.
