Woodcarving. The exhibition at the Museum Arsenyev Vladivostok

On every face - an imprint of life as a unique pattern on a cut tree. 

Vladimir Boyko was born in the village. Krasny Yar, Primorsky Krai. All his childhood he spent in the forest, where he met with Udege. At the mine "Far" in the area Kavalerovskom lived about 20 years, worked in the mines of Chukotka, a diligent Artel looking for gold, tin. 

  

In the 30 years he wanted to cut the wood face Dersu Uzala And picking up a lime churochku, a tool was cut and I realized: it turns out! Vladimir Boiko only works with natural materials (lime, aspen, and occasionally Tim, deer fur, leather, horse hair!). 

Most Vladimir likes to make "portraits" of the elderly Udege, although among his works is Slavic, Mongolian, African face. All of them are drawn from real prototypes. Grandma Ouzou - one of them. On every face - an imprint of life as a unique pattern on a cut tree.
