And here is the Taiwanese sculptor Su Tung Han (Hsu Tung Han) easily combines these two systems in his amazing works. The chisel of the master owns more than a hundred unusual, fascinating sculptures. They are as realistic as possible, but at the same time they crumble into "pixels", breaking the viewer's brain.
All your sculptures are Su Tung Han creates by hand, spending many months on it. As a material, the creator uses exclusively natural material. Usually this is a giant thuja — a tree growing in Southeast Asia, with soft and viscous wood.
Su's work Tung Hana is very painstaking and consists of several stages. First, the sculptor draws a sketch of the future work on paper. After that, he creates a clay sculpture layout and takes a long time to refine it, changing individual elements. Only after everything is brought to the ideal, Khan looks for a suitable workpiece and takes up the cutter.
Many believe that the sculptor designs the "pixelation" of his works using a computer. But this is not so — the whole creative process is Su Tung Hana is completely analog. He creates his modern works exactly as the masters did hundreds of years ago.
No less amazing "pixel" paintings are created by the artist Bradley Hart. His "canvas" is a packaging film with air bubbles.
