Woodcarvings


Risto Immonen (Finland) "Lights in the mountains"



Gadadhar Ohja (France) "My future planet"



Thierry Lauwers (Belgium) "Awakening"


There are several woodcarvings by various artists along a green path near the mountain village of Les Arnauds (1333m, Piedmont, Italy). Some more in next posts.

Curiose e particolari queste sculture in legno.... quella di Gadadhar Ohja "My future planet" è molto bella.

Un saluto Pietro e buona giornata!

Amazing how many very different forms the same piece of wood can become in the hands of international artists.

 
Blogger Mike, 09 June 2009 08:43:

I like them. Wonder how they will weather :)

I don't know, but I look different when I wake up, lol

They used a lot of phantasy, would have been better without titles !

It is indeed interesting how different hands and minds translate a piece of wood into a work of art.

Thought provoking, Pietro. And beautiful.

Pietro: Those are wonderful images from the mountans. That is a talented artist to produce such works.

How wonderful to be able to mix my two favorite things.. hiking and art!

Hi Pietro! It's amazing to consider that in some centuries they would like the old wooden sculptures I've seen in Lithuania...

Meanwhile Blogtrotter (not me, I’m stuck here ;)) is profiting from the holidays in Lisbon this week and has a tour of Lake Galve, one of the beautiful lakes near Trakai, to show you! Hope you enjoy and have a great week!

ciao Pietro, la nikon della fotografia sul blog è una vecchia f 50 che va molto bene che uso pocho per il semplice fatto che bisogna fare sviluppare il rullino ,
mi sono iscritta ad una maratona fotografica a Chieri, e sono diventata socia in questo gruppo che mi sembra serio. ti lascio i links se vuoi visitarlo e darmi una tua opinione ne sarei grata

Più che sculture le tue immagini le considero monumenti....
Buona giornata Pietro!

Whimsical and still creates attention-getting sculptures as tall as a man:)
(am I right, how long is it? i.e. 1,70cm as myself?)

These are my liking, however I don't like if carvers go to paint their carvings. Impatiently waiting some more of this indoor art Pietro as I like very much to see individual creativity through in woodcarving such as painting, beading..

Have a pinkest+bluest+yellowest day, w/ my best wishes~

I am so fascinated by artists that are able to take woods and shape it into pieces such as these... it is simply beautiful!
Wonderful post, I am glad you were able to show us these!

Amazing I have not seen something like this before.

Buon fine settimana Pietro.

Un morceau de bois et il en sort des merveilles.
Je suis de l'avis de Gattina, la libre interprétation m'aurait fait penser, pour la première oeuvre, à un instrument de musique.
Les contorsions du réveil m'amusent.
Certainement une promenade agréable, avec ces pauses qui permettent d'admirer les créations des artistes.

 
Blogger pierangela, 13 June 2009 23:16:

ciao Pietro buona domenica!!

 
Blogger the donG, 16 June 2009 08:28:
