Next Project Idea: Mystery Box
Each hole will contain a certain "thing" which the audience can feel around inside to figure out what it is exactly...
25 Wood Sculptures
Malcolm Tibbetts, “Untitled,” March 7, 2007
The way the pieces move into one another and curve around to form this interesting shape, creates a sort of entertaining sculpture that keeps moving the eye.
Scott Warris, “Untitled,” 2006
This image flows from the movement of the beard that follows the body down to the floor. The face
being shown through the book also adds a mysterious quality to the old man.
Scott Warris, “Untitled,” 2006
The woman gives off a cheerful expression as she holds this “brain” branching out from her hands and head and gives off almost a sense of meditation.
Mike Rea, “Untitled,” 2008
Every part of this structure is caked with detail that makes this piece intricate and interesting. I also love the fact that the artist can fit inside this model as though it is a working machine.
Livio De Marchi, “Ferrari F50 Boat,” 2009
The entire structure is smooth in its design and replicates a Ferrari F50 beautifully. It is a unique work that can actually function in water, which makes it just awesome.
Michael Ferris Jr., “Recycled Wood Project,” 2009
At first glance this piece is automatically interesting because of the patterns that caress the face as well as the hair, but after reading some information about the design I learned that the artist used these patterns to visually interpret the emotional state of each person.
Greg Napolitan, “Chain Saw Sculptures,” 2010
The different shapes give movement and rhythm that work together to form a smooth finish.
Ganeshas, Krishnas, Radha Krishna, Saraswati, Shiva Parvati, “Untitled,” 2010
The intricate detail creates a lavish structure that brings out a powerful image.
Matt Torrens, “Driftwood Bull,” 2008
I like how each part is pieced together to create the actual form of the bull. It adds depth and curiosity to the identity of the creature.
John Northington, “Chain-saw Paintings Wall,” February 1, 2009
Each section of the work adds to one another and creates a static-like motion that builds up the piece as a whole.
Gehard Demetz, “Futuristic Wood Sculptures,” 2009
I like how it is not just a smooth finish on the wood but rather parts that either disappear or sectioned off. It gives the characters more emotional value.
Gehard Demetz, “Futuristic Wood Sculptures,” 2009
The girl's face is so strong as you gaze into her eyes, it truly captures a deep stare that brings in the viewer.
Willy Verginer, untitled, 2010
The stances of each girl reflect off one another and create a tension as the color stops only half way on the figures. They seem closely bonded, yet distant.
Bartolucci Sisters, untitled, 2010
Each curve sways through one another and forms a “water-like” flow that gives texture and balance throughout the image.
Michael T. Rea, Untitled, 2008
Every inch of this structure is filled with detail that creates realism, as though you could drive the tank around.
Krishna Khalsa, untitled, Oct. 2007
The way the sculpture builds up the wall in pieces gives the work a textured look that moves like a tornado.
Ashraf Gafer, “the Kiss,” 2008
The embrace is not clear although you can feel the presence of two figures touching one another. I like how there is only a hint of human figures connected in this moment.
Sam Hernandez, “Bini,” 2005
The structure seems completely organic in shape and texture except for the two cut out rectangles that seem to place a balance within the piece.
El Studio Granados, “Bear Spirit Shaman,” 2010
The figure is very spiritual because of the tall stance and mystical presence of a sort of higher being making its statement.
Andrew Frost, “Alice in Wonderland,” Not Dated
I love how big this sculpture is because it makes it seem as though it is a real place frozen in time. It brings mystery and wonder.
Geoffrey Gorman, untitled, May 30, 2009
This piece is affective by how the stance of the deer is like a natural position, as well as the figure being covered in a sort of line pattern that keeps the piece interesting.
Kerry Vesper, Untited, 2008
The curves in this piece are beautifully executed with a smooth flow from top to bottom.
Kerry Vesper, untitled, 2008
By the sculpture being completely formed by swerves and lines that follow around the shape it allows the eye to move along the edges to create a unique rhythm.
Ben Butler, untitled, 2010
The way the wood builds on layers gives the structure a nice shape that is almost illusionistic in design.
Paul Baden, Untitled, 2007
I like how the circular pattern echoes the shape of the figure and creates a balance throughout.
