A Magical Work of Art

Product picture

Find a work of art by Gung Gus and add it to your life. You will not be disappointed. Gung Gus is a true artist. His craft is sculpting and painting beautiful, inspiring and intricate works of art, which is a more and more rare set of skills to find. When my hand-carved and hand-painted item arrived and I carefully removed it from its lovely hand-wrapped, case, what was revealed was a sculpture that was beyond my wildest expectations from the photos. The sculpture is tranquil and gorgeous and made of a wonderful wood, and the scenery painted on it is so detailed and beautiful. I am amazed that so much skill in sculpting and painting are within one person.

Buddhism Sculpture

Bali’s Wayan Randah is typical of the local artisans who lovingly carve the Buddha statues for NOVICA from a variety of exotic woods and stone. As the oldest of seven children in a small Balinese village, he learned his craft at the feet of his father. Since then he has, like so many others across the region developed his own style in interpreting the teachings of Buddha through his work. “It gives me great pleasure when one of my statues inspires somebody – for this is the foundation of my work.” A sentiment echoed by many of the local artisans who create theses beautiful works of Buddhism sculpture. The NOVICA collection of Wood Buddhism sculptures has been created by local artisans throughout Southeast Asia. Skilled craftsmen from Buddhism’s birthplace in India, to Java, Bali and Thailand.
