If it is customary to create sculptures from sand, ice and snow, then why not try other fleeting materials? For example, butter. This is what the artist Vipula Athukorale thought when he began to create small sculptures from this food product. By the way, even earlier we have already written about such work, but performed by an American author named Jim Victor.
Vipula Atukorale himself was born in Sri Lanka, and now works as a cook in one of the restaurants in London. Since childhood, he drew well, then he began to sculpt from clay, polystyrene, and now he came to butter.
It takes him about 90 hours to create one such sculpture. In this case, you have to constantly be in a cool room and wash your hands in ice water, because excessive heat from the fingers can damage the sculpture. Do not think that these oil sculptures do not last long. Atukorale says that his "Viking Ship", made for the lobby of a hotel in Bahrain a few years ago, is still there. The main thing is to take proper care of these works of art.
Now Vipula Atukorale is working on a series of oil sculptures that will illustrate his favorite childhood fairy tale - the story of Pinocchio.

As a scientist, Nesmeyanov wanted to feed Soviet citizens with oil, but Khrushchev's corn won
Black caviar has always been a symbol of Russia, along with fur, nesting dolls and a bear with a balalaika. It turns out that there was a scientist who dreamed of creating synthetic caviar from oil and feeding it to the entire population of the country. We are talking about Alexander Nesmeyanov, who headed the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in the fifties of the 20th century. Read in the article why he was preoccupied with creating artificial food, what were the pasta created from petroleum products, and why Nesmeyanov's idea collapsed
"Black gold" in the fate of Russia in tsarist and Soviet times: the country was so dependent on oil in different periods
A sovereign state loses its independence if external political or economic factors begin to influence the internal life of the country. In the late USSR, such a factor was the dollar exchange rate, which determines the price of oil and depreciates the ruble, worsening the state of the economy. Things were different in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union before the arrival of Khrushchev: it was during these periods that the country was a self-sufficient state, while exporting at the same time a minimum of barrels of oil
Exclusive batik with oil on silk in the rhythm of Cuban motifs
Today, on the pages of our magazine, I would like to tell the reader about the Cuban artist Orestes Bouzon, who created a unique style of oil painting on fine silk, based on borrowing the techniques of the most ancient type of decorative art - batik. And it should be noted that such a transformation allowed the artist to find his own signature signature style and create a whole gallery of delightful works that excite the imagination of the viewer
Roselina Hung and her bright oil paints
Few people in the 21st century support such "outdated" art movements as surrealism or portrait graphics of the 60s. Now all creators are trying in vain to come up with something of their own, which would be different from the "rest of the gray mass." Fortunately for us, outside observers, quite often such good works in the spirit of the last century come out from under the brush of modern artists. They delight both the eye and the soul, however, if there were more of them, more tasteful creators, it would be absolutely wonderful
Oil sculptures by Jim Victor
It is often said with irony about the work of this sculptor that he cajoles his clients. American Jim Victor, this very sculptor, does not take offense at all, because there is some truth in this statement: the material for his sculptures is the most real butter
