Artwork from Wood
.
53-year-old Sergei Bobkov has patented a unique technique of
creating amazing sculptures out of Siberian cedar
wood-chips.
“It’s not very interesting to do what others can. To create
something out of nothing in a completely new way is far more inspiring”. This is
how Sergei Bobkov explains the unique form of art that he created. He says many
people compare his artworks to taxidermy, because they both look so much like
the animals they replicate, but Sergei believes they are as different as light
and darkness. Whereas taxidermy is all about death, his wood-chip art symbolizes
life.
This resident of Kozhany , Russia , has developed his very own
technique, that prevents wood-chips from falling apart in time. After creating
about 100-150 chips, from 2-3 inch long cedar stick, he puts them in water for
several days. Then, making use of his surgical precision, he carves the chips
into any shape he
needs.
Sergey has been doing this for some time now, but he has only
created 11 wood-chip sculptures. That’s because just one of these incredible
artworks takes around six months to complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a
day, with no days off. Sergei Bobkov focuses on wildlife creatures, and he
studies their anatomy for months, before starting work on a
sculpture.
Even though he was offered $17,000 for his wood-chip eagle,
Sergei’s Bobkov declined, saying his art is not for sale.
