This composition in which separate sculptures of the animals (the whole or a part of the body) are used has the effect of space and movement. The boar and the dogs are carved of wood and are fixed onto the moose antler which is carved as a wood background.
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 is another interpretation of the bear-in-a-village scene with a slightly different representation of the background (the old tree trunk) and the bear's posture and gait. The master applied relief carving and toning.
