i’m jealous of willy verginer
How’s the water today? ~ Oh, a little bit ‘concrete floorish’ but other than that, quite lovely thanks.
I found this stunning work through a blog called I Heart Wood. Yes, that’s right, these unbelievable sculptures, by Italian artist Willy Verginer, are carved out of wood! His undeniable talent as a craftsman would be enough to make just about anyone jealous, but then you throw in these clever compositions/use of gallery space, not to mention his bold application of colour, and I don’t think you could find any artist who wouldn’t say ‘Damn, I wish I thought of that’… or maybe more likely, ‘Damn, I wish I could do that.’ {… that’s what I’m thinking right at this very moment!}
wow, these are AMAZING!

sooooooo beautiful. the colour is startling, perfect.
fantastic! love this!

yeah – very ‘graphic design meets sculpture’. i love the bars of colour right down the middle of the faces on a few of them.
