Artist of the week: Sergei Bobkov

Artist of the week: Sergei Bobkov

Sergei is an wood sculpture artist. Aged 53, works on sculptures of a life-sized wildlife creatures made with sawdust of the Siberian cedar at his workshop in the settlement of Kozhany, Russia.

After creating about 100-150 chips, from 2-3 inch long cedar stick, Sergei puts them in water for several days. Then, making use of his surgical precision, carves the chips into any shape he needs. Sergey has been doing this for some time now, but he has only created 11 wood-chip sculptures. That’s because just one of these incredible artworks takes around six months to complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off.
