According to the Chinese calendar, the coming year will be patronized Wooden Horse … We decided to please the readers of the site Culturology. RF and tell about the British sculptor James Doran-Webbwho knows a lot about wooden horses. His works can rightfully be considered the best symbol of 2014!
James Doran-Webb has lived in the Philippines for many years and creates amazingly realistic sculptures of horses from snags that he finds along the coast. The life-size works look great: graceful animals, it seems, will now leap from their place and rush at full speed.
The work on each sculpture is painstaking work, because James needs to choose such pieces of wood that would accurately convey every muscle of the horse, so that everything looks realistic. The wooden sculpture very accurately conveys the natural position of the animal.
James Doran-Webb developed an interest in working with wood as a child. He often came to the workshop where his parents worked, restoring antique furniture. By the time he was a teenager, James was well versed in rare things, and also mastered the skills necessary for a furniture maker: he knew how to plan, was engaged in carving and mastered everything about the intricacies of the paintwork of the finished product. In 2005, the talented craftsman decided to experiment and began using driftwood found in the sea to make individual pieces of furniture. But making animal sculptures became a real hobby for him, which, we dare to admit, he mastered perfectly well.
By the way, on our website Kulturologiya. RF we talked about another talented designer Jeffro Uitto, his wooden sculptures made of snags will certainly please you.
