Original artwork description:

Hymalayan red bird ( Oiseau rouge de l'Himalaya ) is an unusual, chimerical red bird sculpture with a long, spiral beak that sits somewhere between a hornbill and the Himalayan Markhor goat...

It belongs to the Ostréïdes family, those beings from elsewhere with unusual shapes although close to terrestrial creatures, who have found refuge and survival in abandoned terrestrial materials.

The Himalayan bird comes from a neglected wisteria wood that has been carved with gouges and worked in places to create patterns using the wood's different shades, then stained with red acrylic paintings and varnished.

Materials: wisteria wood, acrylic paint, varnish

Dimensions with base: H 23 x W 40 x D 12 cm

forest wood
