About this product

Product Information

A Fascinating Gallery of Carvings From One of the World's Leading Sculptors This book is an opportunity for lovers of fine woodcarving to examine the work of one of the art form's living masters Ian Norbury detailing his innovative techniques and his original and imaginative subjects. More than 100 photographs richly illustrate his work in this book, which combines a mastery of woodcarving technique and a rich imagination inspired by artists such as Barlach, Dalí, Magritte, Fuchs, Jonssen and most of all, the Mexican surrealist Remedios Varo. Ian is steeped in European cultural history and has an overwhelming sense of the fatalistic repetition of history and the inevitability of the archetypal errors of humanity endlessly repeating themselves. His work is astonishing in its virtuosity of execution, enigmatic mystery and beauty. In recent years his innovative use of metals, stones, shells, gems, mixed timbers and inlays of colored woods have given his work new direction. Norbury will continue to push the boundaries of woodcarving, perhaps in directions that will dismay the traditionalists, enrage the politically correct and delight his fans. Much of his work is based on European folklore and mythology combined with cynical tongue-in-cheek sideswipes at the pomposity of contemporary life. This finds an easy rapport with audiences, and his great technical expertise in the rendering of detail and his acute observations of expressions and appearances are irresistible to many people.

  • Fantistic book for the coffee table and wood workers shelf! A MUST have.

    I bought this book as part of the learning process to incorporate the skills of wood turning and carving. While Ian Norbury does some Fantastic work, this book gives almost no information of the process or steps involved. Was it worth the price and a good value, YES. Would I recommend this book to a friend, YES. The skills this man has are excellent and I will learn a bunch just by looking and re-looking at the items he as produced. His work inspires me and I'll be doing work along the same lines today. Overall, a very good book and one I will pull off the shelf often to look at and use as an inspiration for my own work.
