Tom Eckert's sculptures always blew my mind into indistinguishable bits. He makes amazing works of art, and the picture above is just one of my favorites. At first glance, most people would think that the sculpture is made from paper cards and fabric. Wrong. The material is none other than wood.
Yes, all of his artworks are made of traditionally carved wood that are painted over. The woods are so finely crafted and painted that it gives this hyper-realistic look. The 'cloth' looks silky, soft, and smooth. The transparency and weight looks real, and you can see how gravity works in the draping 'fabric'.
I also like how the artist uses unique composition in his artworks. Many of his sculptures features floating objects, like cards or books, giving them a magical look.
