An old Tree Trunk.....but look closer

But, Looking Closer, It Reveals Something Mind Blowing …

Hey buddy, that is one gigantic tree trunk … but, why is it behind red tape?

It looks like it is all old and rotting with all that funny texture.

 

Come closer, you say?

 

Sure … wait … holy cow … I guess it is not just a gigantic tree trunk lying around in a gallery.

 

Artist Zheng Chunhui created a piece called “Along The River During The Quinming Festival”.

 

It seems as though he was on a mission to blow everyone’s mind.

Take a look at the photos below and try to imagine the incredible skill and

dedication required to create something like this. 

Nice tree, buddy, about 40-feet long?

Pretty impressive.

You want me to look closer?

Okay

 

 

Say, what?

 

Okay, so it turns out this is a wooded carved sculpture made with a single tree trunk,

which is the world’s longest wood carving as per the Guinness Book of World Records.

 

The sculpture contains over 550 individually carved people,

not to mention all the buildings and foliage.

 

It is a replica of the famous Chinese painting “Along The River During The Quinming Festival”,

created by artist Zhang Zeduan during the Song Dynasty.

 

This mind-blowing artwork was created by Zheng Chunhui.

It took four years to complete.

 

 

Now, that is a masterpiece.
