Siberian creates realistic animal sculptures out of cedar chips
Never ceases to amaze humanity with limitless possibilities and a high flight of imagination of creative people. So unique Siberian master Sergey Bobkov invented the original technique of creating three-dimensional sculptures of birds and animals from conventional wood chips. A patented technique allows the folk craftsman to do literally miracles @- it of the sculpture is so authentic and realistic that delight even the sophisticated audience.
Since 2005 talented teacher, provincial rural schools of the Siberian village of Kozhany of Krasnoyarsk Krai Sergey Bobkov has developed original technology to create three-dimensional sculptures from cedar shavings and became famous not only in Russia, but and abroad.
And it all started with the experiment, when the wizard attempted to create from waste wood production of the bird. After a successful debut, Sergei became interested in this technology seriously, and confirming it by a patent, have achieved amazing results.
Each new project, the wizard starts by thoroughly studying the special literature about the anatomical structure of the object and experimenting with the selection of the right material. And it picks up the wood and tone, the most suitable for the tail or lint generated by the sculpture. He then produces a frame of wooden parts, which one hundred percent corresponds to the anatomical structure of the body, and the course is taken into account and the actual size and weight. And then the artist puts literally millimeter by millimeter his sculpture in the feathers or fur of wood chips, also considering the actual structure of the feathers or fibers, quantity, or other specifics.
Himself Sergey Bobkov talks about pre-season: "Допустим, it is necessary to make the capercaillie. First thoroughly, to learn all the little things image from photographs, films, video. Thank God, now information every sea. And then, when he accustomed himself to almost be a grouse, then start working on тельцем".
Conventional dry chip has a fragile structure, but the logistics of removing her from the tree technology Bobkov also has its own characteristics: light beams before planing it definitely zamachivaem in water for a few days and did not crumble and does not crack. Uses the wizard mostly shavings of Siberian cedar, but the quality of the parts adds and beech, and willow.
Correctly taken from the boards of the chips, very plastic, textured, easy to work, easy to give shape and volume. Moreover, it is durable and in varied shades, which allows you to get the most accurate reproduction of animal fur and bird feathers.
And it should be noted that the creation of such sculptures very long and laborious process. The artist, carrying in his workshop for 12-14 hours spent on their establishment from six months to several years. Because each detail — fiber, feather, wool — is adjusted and fixed manually.
One of the last works by the master @- a copy of the wild Pallas " cat, which left more than a million parts and four years and seven months of hard daily work. Of these, more than three years Sergey Bobkov" одевал" the cat, picking up and attaching separately to each villus. In truth the Herculean work of talented master.
But the creation of these three Surkov master Bobkov spent half a year and 210 000 small sticks of cedar.
Many people who are not-мальски is related to creativity, came to Sergey Bobkov to learn from the experience and understand the unique technique in his master-классах, don"t skimp craftsman, and generously shares the secrets of his skill." Но so no one undertook to repeat my experience", – said Bobkov.
And on the question of journalists, what he did before he invented his unique technique of the sculptor replied that once, trying to count all its activities, got lost in the 50-ти."Мы and furniture did, and the towns were built, and the theatrical technique involved, and stained glass Windows, and costumes. I understand why this technology came to me. This technique requires the synthesis of knowledge. If only two-тремя crafts possess, it simply does not потянуть".
And curiously, his creations Sergey Bobkov doesn"t sell anyone for any money! And offered, and that @- is considerable. He prefers to keep a complete collection of masterpieces in his workshop in the hope that when-нибудь interested in his man-made wonder of the large museums.
And sales the artist makes small gifts. Enough to live on.
