Sergey Bobkov, chip sculpture. Amazing sculptures from Sergei Bobkova chips
I am writing with joy and pride for our craftsmen who are capable of not only flea, but to create such a thing that no one has not yet done and never. Just with us, unfortunately, such accomplishments pass in a quiet, maximum once in the news will show ... and sorry, because many directions, "sculpture of chips" in particular, are not just interesting, but innovative, there is a patent technology, to open the technology, Master - classes and exhibitions to organize, eh ... I hope all this will be, I really hope, because beautiful and great!
And I impressed me with my work Krasnoyarsk master, ordinary school teacher ordinary provincial high School (I do not know for sure, perhaps the workman))). He was 55 years old, he managed to try a lot of things for his own hands to do a lot of things - there was a carving, weaving from the vine, ceramic creativity, was even the production of furniture. But apparently I wanted something "kinda", repeat the ease and naturalness of my exhibits - animals and birds. So that if feathers are trembling and air, if the wool is fluffy and with vile.
This is a serastility, white and fluffy, with 30 thousand "fur"
The material was found unexpectedly - they were wood chips, first simple, then, according to the results of samples and errors, specially prepared. Ordinary chips - fragile structure, and to achieve plasticity, Sergey Bobkov I came up with soak wooden shells in water for several days. It uses in mainly chips of the cedar of Siberian, but sometimes adds a beech, and the yawa. The chips are removed, specially rolled, imagine how it smells in the workshop? ...
In the photo you can see what kind of complicated sculptures are obtained - every feather in its place, the desired size and shape. In addition, it is beautiful and luxurious, still anatomically as much as possible - the master studies the habits and anatomical features of their eagles, Filins and Soboli. Sometimes it takes to the creation of one block sculpture until six months; The sable wool, for example, consists of 30 thousand Village, and about 7 thousand different feathers needed for the eagle.
Sergey Bobkov He says that his work is the complete opposite of the chockerels of real, dead animals. Scarecrow is the result of death, and its chip figurine is a birth, a whole philosophy is obtained.
The master exhibits his creations, but only sometimes and so far only in a very local scale. But his plans are big - he hopes that in his native country He will be noticed and supported, they will help to open a conceived art center (with the exhibition hall, a big workshop, a hotel for visitors who want to learn, just admire or buy something). Very - I really want everything to work out, and about Sergey Bobkov Not only everyone has learned, but also abroad, because there is something to be surprised and what to admire.
Find and show your talents never too late. The history of the 55-year labor teacher of the ordinary provincial school is served as a real confirmation - Sergey Bobkov. His life I. creative way It takes place in the village of Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia. He became famous not only in his native village and on the territory of the country, but also beyond as a talented sculptor, creating stunning three-dimensional articles made of wood chips. For several years now, the artist who has found his calling makes people incredibly realistic creations in the form of various animals and birds, feathers and wool that replace the processed special method The finest wood plates.
The first surveys in the field of new directions in art, the unique technology of which, by the way, Sergey managed to patent, began to nine years ago, when the sculptor was 48 years old. Once he drew attention to the unique properties of wood chips, which could help him in creating something special, going beyond the existing ideas about creativity. So the master was noted the texture, plasticity and diversity of shades of wood material. In addition, he is natural, affordable at the same time, while not losing its initial aesthetic properties over time. Without postponing the idea of \u200b\u200ba long box, Sergey began to work, and as a result, the first masterpiece was created - a wood chip poultry, captured in a typical dynamic pose.
Before that the artist managed to try a large number of Crafts - weaving from the vine, the manufacture of products from ceramics, art carving and even the production of furniture, but truly close to him became the creation of extraordinary sculptures from the tree. From the exhibits, itifies amazing naturalness and ease: the wool is realistic fluffy, it seems, now bends under a light blow of the wind, and feathers, air and lungs, the instant can come around and swell into the sky. For almost ten years of his work, the master made a whole collection of animals and birds like which is not all over the world.
According to Sergey, to do what is managed to most - he is not interested, but finding his way and create something unusual - quite another thing, it is perfectly inspired.
Long before proceeding directly to the creation of a new sculpture, for several months the master thoroughly studies the subject of interest. It stones textbooks with descriptions and photos of the selected beast or birds, and also monitors their habits and features in the natural habitat until it becomes a real connoisseur in this topic.
The history of the manufacture of a chip sculpture begins with the creation of a plasticine prototype, which is an almost complete three-dimensional model that serves as a kind of mannequin for removing the measure, which is later transferred to the tree.
The basis of the future product is cut on the created sketch of wood bars, which are then covered with wool or feathers. The technology of production and processing of wood chips is quite complex processes. Since the usual chips - the material is very fragile, Sergey has to achieve elasticity and strength through the soaking of the tree in the water. Then the thin plates are cut from wet bars, which for some time makes a breath between the pages of school textbooks.
And finally, the material is ready, and soon a skillful cutter will turn thin plates into the fur, fluff or feathers. Each element is approximately 5-8 cm. For consumerism, Sergey processes them with cutters and scissors, so that the external similarity was maximum. Wooden feathers And the fur with jewelry accuracy is glued with the hands of the master to the "body" of the future sculpture. The beak and claws are also made from chips glued from several tens of layers.
According to Sergey Bobkov, the chips are suitable for this type of art different species Woods, however, he prefers to work exclusively with the Siberian cedar.
Manufacture unusual sculptures Makes the artisan to spend in his workshop for 14-18 hours a day, hardening without downtrend. Complex, filigree, requiring many skills, forces and inspiration, work brings Sergey only satisfaction and joy. The creation of a single chip masterpiece in the form of a large animal or a bird by the artist leaves about 4-6 months. Sculptor argues that it is especially difficult to work on figures of fur animals. For example, a couple of cunits, for whom the masters needed 150 finest chips, he created long 8 months. Sable wool consists of 30 thousand Village, and for the support of the eagle it took up to 7 thousand plates of wood chips. One of the latter large work "Two degrades - the artist did in Tandem with his 21-year-old Son Artem.
Chip products due to their amazing external similarity With its "models" often compare with animal stuffed. However, this approval does not like this statement at all, because his works are represented by full opposite Scarecrow dead animals - they symbolize life and carry beauty and good into the world.
Collection of Sculptures Sergey Bobkov is exhibited in the village school, where local residents Tourists and holidaymakers come from the nearest resort "Krasnoyarsk Zagor".
The most large-scale bragging Master is still not daring to sell what is absolutely not surprising, because it is very difficult to say goodbye to the creation, which was spent more than six months of work. For the acquisition, small sculptures are offered like wooden colors and cute owls. For example, a composition of three owls is available on the sculptor's website for sale, the cost of which is 150 thousand rubles. For comparison, it is worth noting that for one of the most excellent work Sculptor - an eagle statue - offered 3 million rubles, but Sergey refused this proposal.
At the talented Sergey Bobkov, ambitious plans for the future - he dreams of big art centerwhich will include showroom, workshop and hotel for those who wish to learn to the wisdom of this type of art or simply admire the already created masterpieces.
