Wood Carver Transformed a 40-feet Tree Trunk into an Intricate Work Of Art.
Being an artist does not have limits. Creativity is something that comes from within and when one is inspired, the natural juices of art transpires naturally. More than gifted hands, we believe that wonderful masterpieces are products of enthusiastic hearts and resonating souls. Albert Einstein once said, “True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.” I think this explains how artist Zheng Chunhui was able to create this beautiful work of art from an old tree trunk. We were surprised to know that a person can possess such intricate talent!
This single tree trunk may look plain and simple from afar.
But wait until you see the details up close.
Just when we thought, it was a tree with abstract carvings… We were stunned to find such detailed carvings of houses, trees and ancient Chinese structures in one masterpiece!
This work of art holds the Guinness World Record for the Longest Wood Carving.
The entire structure was filled with carvings of people. The interesting fact is there are about 550 carved people all individually hand-carved by the artist!
The masterpiece is a wood-carved representation of the “Along The River During The Quinming Festival,” originally painted by Zhang Zeduan during the Song Dynasty.
This amazing wood carving took a total of four years to complete! Impressive!
