This carving depicts the fight between two mighty animals, the bear and the tiger. This is my original interpretation in bone of V.Gorbatov's painting.
На этом роге изображен бой между двумя могучими животными, медведем и тигром. Это моя оригинальная интерпретация в кости картины В.Горбатова.
This is another version of one of my favourite compositions the center of which is 2 mooses fighting. Cut carving technique allows to make the carving light and the atmosphere airy.
Every version of this composition is not a simple repetition of the same subject but a new treatment of the scene and the material as every new moose antler dictates the forms and movements and carving lines and techniques to be applied.
Cabinet sculpture Fight, 2015
Materials and technique: mammoth tusk sculpture, with a fumed oak stand and a fumed oak box
(velvet, brass latches,a silver engraving of a wild boar head on the top).
The sculpture to be safely placed in a box carved of wood and decorated with a metal engraving of a wild boar head. Such accessories create a special atmosphere about
the sculpture - a worthy piece of art,made of precious and natural materials,all handmade. A kind of ''cradle'' for the artist's creation in which it can be safely kept or handed over to an art-lover or a connoisseur....
