Artist Uses A Chainsaw To Transform Wood Into Stunning Sculptures

Jürgen Lingl-Rebetez is an award-winning German artist who specializes in wood carving. He began his artistic career as a painter in his early 20s, and not so long after Lingl-Rebetez discovered wood and all the beautiful things that he can create using it. After moving to Switzerland in 1996, this artist started using a chainsaw to create amazing sculptures.

Jürgen’s wood artworks create an impression of 3D paintings drawn with a chainsaw where the number of details gives an impression that his creations might come to life at any moment, and accurate strokes add strength and personalities to his subjects. Scroll down to see them for yourself.

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

I am so impressed by the skill and quality of these pieces. These respect the animal as well as the tree from which they're carved.

The sculptures look great (especially how some are balanced) and I'm sure require hard work and great precision to make. But the animals somehow look tired and sad. Maybe because they look like they have a lot of scars and wrinkles so they look old and battered.

What a dangerous way to make art, but definitely with astonishing results. Time to retire for safety reasons, no? Rich art collectors would pay a lot for amazing art pieces that will not be created again.

I love these. Huge style really fits the horse and the big cats well. Such beautiful portrayal of these animals.

Yeah, those are pretty cool, but I'd be really impressed if someone posted an article about a lumberjack cutting down an oak tree with a watercolor brush.
