Artist Uses A Chainsaw To Transform Wood Into Stunning Sculptures

344

ADVERTISEMENT

Jürgen Lingl-Rebetez is an award-winning German artist who specializes in wood carving. He began his artistic career as a painter in his early 20s, and not so long after Lingl-Rebetez discovered wood and all the beautiful things that he can create using it. After moving to Switzerland in 1996, this artist started using a chainsaw to create amazing sculptures.

Jürgen’s wood artworks create an impression of 3D paintings drawn with a chainsaw where the number of details gives an impression that his creations might come to life at any moment, and accurate strokes add strength and personalities to his subjects. Scroll down to see them for yourself.

    The sculptures look great (especially how some are balanced) and I'm sure require hard work and great precision to make. But the animals somehow look tired and sad. Maybe because they look like they have a lot of scars and wrinkles so they look old and battered.

    What a dangerous way to make art, but definitely with astonishing results. Time to retire for safety reasons, no? Rich art collectors would pay a lot for amazing art pieces that will not be created again.

    Yeah, those are pretty cool, but I'd be really impressed if someone posted an article about a lumberjack cutting down an oak tree with a watercolor brush.
