Chainsaw Carving is a Chip Off the Old Block

Chainsaw carving combines the ancient art of carving with the modern technology of the chainsaw, commonly used for tree felling. The artist uses the chainsaw to carve a wooden trunk or block, in a performance that is fascinating to watch.

As with most art forms, chainsaw carving has been used to create fan art of popular media characters from films and games. Most of these character statues are carved from several pieces of wood that are fitted together during the carving process.

Carving of Big Daddy from Bioshock
A chainsaw artist, Jason, creates a chainsaw carving of a Big Daddy from the game, Bioshock. The video below shows the process from selecting wood to completing the tiniest detail.

Above: A video of the chainsaw carving process, which shows a chainsaw artist called Jason carving a Bog Daddy character from the popular game, Bioshock.

Above: The finished sculpture. The large statue is highly detailed and beautifully finished.

Chainsawed Characters from Star Wars

George Lucas's famous movies, Star Wars, have inspired artists to create fan art of the movies' characters. Chainsaw carving lends itself particularly well to woolly and furry characters such as Chewbacca and the Ewoks.

Above: Chewbacca, with Jar Jar Binks. These chainsaw carvings were displayed at an extreme sports event. Apparently the artist won the audience's heart when he cut Jar Jar Binks' head off with a chainsaw.

Above: The Ewoks, a furry alien race from the Star Wars films. The artist has painted the wood to give the statues more character.

Lord of the Rings Characters in Chainsaw Art

JRR Tolkien's famous fantasy novel, The Lord of the Rings, has a cast of fascinating and unique characters. A favorite character from the books and films is Gandalf the wizard, with his long beard and flowing robes, this staff-carrying warrior wizard is highly recognizable, even from afar.

Oh Shoot! Art Made with Guns

These artists have chosen to put down their paint brushes, choosing to create art with guns instead.

Guns, like all weapons, are built to be destructive tools. We use them to kill, maim and wound other people, and even if we shoot guns at targets or other inanimate objects, the result is that whatever the gun is pointed at gets destroyed. These artists have found a way to use guns to be creative, while being destructive. The artworks that they are “painting” with guns merge the destructive nature of a projectile weapon and the creative essence of man.

Staple Gun Art

Baptiste Debombourg is a French artist who creates murals with a staple gun. Using tens of thousands of staples, Debombourg creates large, arresting artworks that have a unique texture and shine.

Paintball Gun Art

Several paintballers were brought in to create this advert for Bonyurt. Shooting simultaneously, the paintballers create a large pop art painting of Marilyn Monroe.

Bullet-hole art

Viktor Mitic, born in Yugoslavia, uses a variety of different guns to add another dimension to his artworks. There has been much controversy around his work, as many Christians don’t approve of Mitic shooting at images of Jesus Christ (seen below).

Walton Creel gets up close and personal, shooting at close range through sheets of painted metal to create his artworks. The result resembles a pixelated image.
