Kenya-Born Artist Carves Intricate Scenes Of Local Nature On Wood Using Hands

This amazing artist who is originally from Kenya now works in Zealand. He is none other than Gordon Pembridge who had had a long life bond with nature. He is a painter and a woodworker in the profession. He always has a careful eye on his surroundings, looking for some kind of inspiration. He always tries to incorporate the natural elements and wildlife. One of the major works of Pembridge is the striking series of hand-painted, carved wooden vessels.

He has created a lot of woodwork giving life to non-living wood with his extraordinary sculpting technique. Each work is created through a mind-blowing sculpting technique. He soon crafts everything using his hand once he has finished his desired shape. He turns wood into fern-like designs and decorates them with foliage, natural motifs, and animals. He was inspired by New Zealand and Kenya for this. Elegant intrications and bright colors make it hard to believe that they are crafted of wood.
