Extractions: Updated September 16, 2005 C arved from the Copal Tree when the wood is green, this art comes from the three villagesArrazola, San Martin Tilcajete and La Union Tejalapan in the State of Oaxaca. Full of movement and humor, the figures spring from the imaginations and superstitions of the carvers, for whom myth and magic are as much a part of daily life as conventional religion.

Extractions: Porte de la ville J'ai eu la chance de passer une grande partie de ma vie dans un beau pays, le Maroc (Tanger et Casablanca), dont la beauté des paysages, la richesse de son architecture, l'habileté de ses artisans et ses traditions ancestrales, sont des sources d'inspiration inépuisables, ajoutez à cela une chaleureuse hospitalité. Voilà pourquoi une grande partie de mes sculptures sont des images de ce beau pays que je vous invite vivement à découvrir...En attendant, je vous invite à visiter ma Galerie de sculptures sur bois pour un voyage intemporel... Petit, j'aimais les magazines pleins d'images. Un jour un article sur un commandant de marine à la retraite qui consacrait son temps à construire des maquettes en bois de bateaux anciens, attira particulièrement mon attention. Cet article admirablement illustré, mettait en évidence les sculptures très fines sur le château arrière d'un navire du XVIIIème siècle. Je voulus en faire autant et me mis à la recherche d'un bout de bois, puis de quoi couper . Une lame de rasoir piquée à mon Père et cassée en biseau fit l'affaire. Voilà comment naquit ma passion pour la sculpture sur bois.

Extractions: We have finished some new works, and they are already accessible in our catalogue. Let's tell more in detail about some samples. The Saviour "Not Man-made Image" . this work is interested by a combination of various materials (an oak, a black alder, an apple-tree), and different woodcarving styles (bas-relief, three-dimensional, icon-shelf). Big oak crosses with three-dimensional crucifixions. As a rule, oak is considered a good joiner's material - it is beautiful, strong and durable. But to cut on an oak art products it is very heavy and many carvers consider is as very "easy broken" material which is not suitable for fine plastics. With this work we deny this opinion. As you can see, fine details on this crucifixion are cut out carefully and the result has turned out very worthy.

Extractions: INFORMATION ABOUT CRIBS - WOOD CARVED COLLECTING CRIBS - CRIBS FIGURES Origin, Development and Spreading of the Crib Tradition We know next to nothing about the tradition of the Crib's date of origin. Like almost everything that has its origin amongst the people, the Crib tradition originally evolved out of several roots. One of these is certainly the large number of mosaics and paintings surrounding Christ's birth that were created as far back as the second century, most prominently in the area of Italy. The theme was also attractive for other Mediterranean countries, however with representations initially remaining two-dimensional. Not before many years later, did sculptors show interest in the theme and begin to represent the group surrounding Christ's birth in form of reliefs most of which featured extremely large figures. From these, the modern form of the Crib gradually evolved displaying movable, i.e. individually positionable figures. Until far into the 16th century, we have no knowledge at all about the appearance of house cribs. And even then, very little has become known about their existence. House cribs were originally a privilege limited to the aristocracy. Only in the 17th century did they become popular tradition. Their great breakthrough took place 1785, after Emperor Joseph the Second's anticlerical decrees, which completely forbade Cribs to be put up in churches or monasteries. By this time, however, the people had already got used to the religious tradition of crib representations and they no longer wanted to be without them. Although the Cribs were removed from the church, they were instantly re-erected in a house or farm next-door. The French and Habsburgian authorities had not in the least imagined that this would happen

Extractions: htmlAdWH('93212818', '728', '90'); Main Business Park Other Creative Arts Savannah Santas Combining Old World tradition with Old South charm, every handcarved Savannah Santa emerges from a single block of basswood. It is then painted, antiqued, and preserved with a hand-rubbed beeswax finish. These original folk art carvings truly reflect the spirit of outsider art because the carvers are entirely self-taught. Each Savannah Santa woodcarving bears a signature shamrock and is signed, dated, and one-of-a-kind - a wonderful addition to any Santa collection. Super Star Santa (on left) stands tall at 9". The hood of his burgundy robe has a Greek key border in gold and gold stars with a vintage look. His pleated robe covers a rich ecru inner robe. $70.00 Uncle Sam Santa (center) is 10" tall and wears a dark blue robe over a red and white striped inner robe. A gold Greek key border and white stars decorate the hood of his blue robe. $70.00 Wind-Touched Santa (on right) is 6.5" tall and wears a burgundy robe edged with gold and bordered with stars over a beige inner robe.
