CONFUCIUS SAY…
January 27, 2011
Ability will never catch up with the demand for it
– Confucius
From this famous quote, we can assume that the great Chinese thinker and social philosopher understood the true value of true talent and craftsmanship. Born in 551 BC, Confucius’ teachings form the foundation of many of the current global thoughts on education and how the world should live and interact with others. Not only did his prominent philosophy emphasize personal and governmental morality, justice and sincerity, but he also released the importance of finding real beauty in nature.
Though not a man in love with his own likeness, this appreciation would have lead even Confucius himself to be overwhelmed by this stunning, wood carving portrait.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it
– Confucius
Designed as a custom carving for a private residence, Art For Everyday’s master carvers had to get under the skin of the eminent Chinese philosopher before they could carve it. After a little research, some reflection and a touch of Zen, the 28 inch diameter masterpiece could be started. Both carver and client agreed that one of the most important aspects of the piece was the philosopher’s eyes. Once the wisdom and energy that represented Confucius was achieved through his gaze, the carving would take on another level of realism.
Looking at the subtle detailing and use of light and shading around the carving’s face, both our client and everyone here at Art For Everyday was extremely happy with the result.
Created in cherry wood, the disk was designed to sit within the centre of a two paneled, pocket door. Chinese symbols containing a private message adorn either side of the door, adding to the uniqueness of the design. The disk is divided in two and as the doors close, the image of Confucius comes together to reveal the great thinker’s noble stare.
