Natural sculptural forms of tree roots.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
I bring to your attention the exposition of sculptures which are formed by a nature, that is are natural compositions.
The shown sculptures are forest snags or roots of old trees which are cleared of wood rubbish and are somewhat coordinated with distinct animal forms or images of birds.
I hope that offered forest sculptures will be interesting to your attention.

Yours faithfully, Sergey Leonidovich Panphilov.

Sculptures (wood forest sculptures) are submitted in galleries (under blue buttons). Each sculpture is shown by several photos which allow to see sculptural forms from the different sides.
Photos are not systematic circular photographing as each sculpture has some most photogenic foreshortenings. That is I have chosen for photographing only some foreshortenings which show the most true sculptural image, but in aggregate chosen foreshortenings allow to see distinct volumetric images and forms of birds.
Unfortunately the valid volumetric sculptural forms cannot be shown by means of photos, but nevertheless it is possible to guess the valid three-dimensional projections of the shown wood forest sculptures.
Sculptures have poetic names which are given in Russian transcription and are sometimes approximately translated into the English language.
Material of the shown wood forest sculptures are old roots of trees, and in particular roots of fur-trees. The bases of sculptures are various wood stumps and also natural outgrowths of trees.
The detailed information on art concepts of a forest sculpture can be learned on the appropriate page of this site. And also on pages of this site it is possible to learn about technologies of wood processing, and in particular about technologies for processing of old tree roots which are applied to manufacturing forest sculptures.

The forest sculpture is a direction of art which investigates flora, and searches for natural forms arising as result of a life inherent in trees or other objects of the nature.
Trees or flowers, or other realities of vegetable kingdom form flora of our planet and are an alive matter and consequently the forest sculpture operates with an alive material unlike a sculpture which operates with materials of a lifeless matter, such as a marble or bronze, or wood, but is "artificial art" which results from subjective human creativity.
Artificial sculptures can be similar to natural forms of the world, namely can repeat proportions of human bodies or forms of animals, but in any case display result of human creativity. And natural forest sculptures are direct displays of the nature.
Sometimes in rocks it is possible to see outlines of human faces, or in stones it is possible to guess contours of birds and animals, but nevertheless forest sculptures differ from such forms as arise in the environment of an alive matter of plants.

I have the right to sell the submitted artworks of forest sculptures.
