Amazing sculptures out of Siberian cedar wood-chips by Russian artist

53-year-old Sergei Bobkov has painted a unique technique of creating amazing sculpture 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, Artpeoplegallery.com reported.

He said 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 sticks, he puts them in water for several days. Then, making use of his surgical precision, he carves the chips into any shape he needs. Sergei has been doing this for some time now, but he has only created 11 wood-chip sculptures.
