Learn Digital Photography with Sandro Dzneladze

Chainsaw Artist

Written on May 15, 2009 by Sandro Dzneladze

Stephane Deguilhen is an artist located on the lovely island of Corsica. He works with wood, using chainsaw, with stunning results.

Jiggling chain-saw skillfully, wielding it like a precision tool, this Corsican Artist really made it look easy. But scalping a profile of a horse in a limited time, with such a crude tool is nothign but easy. As he confessed later during the interview, it took him well over a decade to master the tool…

The head of the horse you see on the photos above was curved out of whole piece of wood in about twenty minutes – without preparation, without a sketch. For me as a fellow artist it was an amazing experience to observe huge piece of wood come to life in the hands of a master.
