Tall Abstract Wooden Wall-mounted Grey-blue Sculpture By Christofer Kochs 2014

Contemporary abstract wooden wall-mounted sculpture created by circular sawing, grey-blue painted on white-stuff.
Signed Christofer Kochs, 2014
Due to the exaggerated length and the stylized lines, a resemblance to the sculptures by Giacometti can be noticed.
The wood is cut by hand with a circular saw, then primed with a chalk base and coloured.
The artistic tool is a very coarse saw, so it is very difficult to create such fine lines with a large saw.
