Kenya-Born Artist Hand-Carves Intricate Scenes Of Local Nature On Wood
Kenya-born and New Zealand-based artist Gordon Pembridge has developed a lifelong bond with nature. This connection with Mother Earth is often the main source of inspiration for his impressive wooden vessels that incorporate elements of natural history and portray colorful local wildlife.
Pembridge obtains the majority of his timber from storm-felled trees, and shapes it with a lathe, but the real magic happens when he meticulously hand-carves incredibly detailed wildlife scenes with a high-speed engraver. These often feature flora and fauna from his most beloved places - Africa and Oceania. Finally, Gordon forms fitting color compositions and applies them with an airbrush.

I don't know why, but this one is my Favorit. The powerful pose of this powerful bull and the fragility of the bowl is the perfect symmetry!

The implied sunset/sunrise with the reddish interior is really lovely and makes this one my favorite

All of these should be bought for millions of dollars by Museums and displayed for all to see.
