Unique piece: Sitting man - art object made of suarwood, 110 cm

Sitting man - art object made of Suar wood

Woodcarving on a high level is represented by this male body made of Suar wood. The sculpture of a sitting man with a height of 110 cm is characterized by the detailed highlighting of the muscles and facial features. The thinking pose creates an exciting yet relaxing atmosphere. The fine grain of the rainbow tree wood makes the figure look alive, the fine webs in the typical chocolate like dark brown look like the lifelines that are suddenly visible.

Due to its appealing size, without taking up too much space at the same time, it is ideally suited to decorate the reading room or the living room. The sitting man comes on a base or pedestal even better to advantage (not included). With 40 kg he is still easy to transport from one place to another and therefore flexible to use.

Innovative artist collective in Bali

The Sitting Man is a unique piece, formed by a Balinese artist collective in finest detail work. We came across the small manufactory during our last trip to Indonesia. Their woodcarvings are characterized by the realistic representation of the figures. The attention to detail, classical techniques combined with innovative approaches ensure the high standards the artists have.

The wondrous rain tree - Suar wood and its qualities

The authenticity of the work of art is due not only to the execution but also to the special material from which it is carved. Suar - the wood of the wondrous rainbow tree - captivates with its contrasting grain between chocolate and golden brown. The relatively soft and rather light material is used for the construction of musical instruments.

The magical: In the movie The Land of the Rainbow Tree with Elizabeth Taylor, the tropical wood is the protagonist. It is said that the finder of the tree realizes the meaning of life. This acacia species does not belong to the endangered and protected woods.

Care tip: Suar wood tends to crack in changeable humidity. Optimally this would be 50-60%. Underfloor heating and placing next to a radiator can increase cracking.
