These look like the sort of things that lower class people collect along with glass bongs and faux samurai swords – very distasteful.
Wow! Great works!

What a patience… Impressive.
This is not art.
It is great craftsmanship, but not more than the sum of its parts, which is what defines art (among other things). A photo realistic drawing (or wood carving) is not more than a representation of the subject, and therefore not ‘art’ but at it’s best ‘artistic’.
Despite that, this is great craftsmanship. Beats sitting behind a computer and writing dumb comments… duh!
Yeah, that.
Skilled craftsman, nice handiwork, but e.g. the cheap clockwork degrades the pieces to plain kitsch.
Amazing art work.i wonder how artist successfully made 3d effect on flat piece of wood.truly art work.
Impressive.
Folklorist kitsch. But good craftsmanship indeed.

WOW!!! WONDERFUL!!! In my country, Vietnam, you cqn get such masterpieces also, thing is that the representations are different ( culture :p)
Even using modern electric tools, these would be very difficult, challenging carvings. It must have required long painstaking effort to create these amazing works.
I really liked that post, I am a little puzzled, and have a tiny question. May I send you an email?
You gave great points here. I made a research on the subject and found nearly all peoples will agree with your blog.
So look very nice.
I am very impressed. I wonder how many people would call the “Gates of Paradise” by Lorenzo Ghiberti, kitsch?
Beautiful woodcarving works. It seems that the carver prefer scenes with lot of crowd.
Good job.
