This is another version of one of my favourite compositions the center of which is 2 mooses fighting. Cut carving technique allows to make the carving light and the atmosphere airy.
Every version of this composition is not a simple repetition of the same subject but a new treatment of the scene and the material as every new moose antler dictates the forms and movements and carving lines and techniques to be applied.
This composition of a wild boar against a forest background is carved into the moose antler. The feeling of the animal's movement is the focus. The trees and the roots are carefully worked at.
Different tinges of brown make the animal and the background stand out, this effect is achieved by colouring and burning.
This is a composition of a chase of a wild boar by wolves.
It is carved into the mammoth tusk which is fixed onto the wooden stand.
The animals are caught in movement, and make the focus of the composition. Besides, the background of the forest is of no less importance in this scene, which can be observed in careful and detailed finish of the branches and leaves and their position enhancing the tension of the scene.
