Call of Couture by Herb William

Nashville, Tennessee-based artist Herb William (previously here and here) latest exhibit showcases a collection of dog sculptures made of thousands of crayons in the theme of high fashion, called 'Call of Couture'.



"Paintings from as early as the 15th century depict royalty with a purebred dog on their lap or by their side. Iconic fashion, like art, provides a paradigm shift which defines moments of time in society and sets it apart from banality. In the Call of Couture series the animal kingdom models contemporary fashion in my signature cut-crayon medium."



Check the exhibition that opened on Saturday 4th April and runs until 30th April at the Rymer Gallery in Nashville.

Carved Crayon Sculptures by Hoang Tran

Californian artist Hoang Tran, left dentistry school to become an artist and spent hours creating iconic characters of television and film out of crayons.



"It all started about three or four years ago. Online, I saw the crayon carvings of another artist named Diem Chau. So the idea of carving crayons wasn’t originally mine. It was something that I wanted to try but at the time, I was just too busy."



"Then about half a year ago, a friend of mine was putting on a small art show and asked if I wanted to participate. I’m not the painter type but I remembered the crayon carvings and thought I could fit that with the theme of the art show. I ended up carving a handful of crayons and they were well received at the show."



"Afterwards, I thought about how there were not many people doing this and maybe I could help fill this void. I decided to spend a week carving some new crayons to see what would happen. I posted images online and eventually some became popular and things kind of took off from there."



"I had a lot of experience carving wax, in dental school we had to learn how to carve wax teeth for the fabrication of gold crowns."



"Depending on the difficulty of what I'm trying to carve, it takes me about two to three hours to mostly finish one - a lot shorter than when I first started."



"There is some irony that even though I left dentistry behind I'm still using my dental instruments today - hopefully still creating smiles."



"Sometimes the colour of a crayon is the influence for a creation."



For the multi-coloured sculptures, he integrate the other colours with the main crayon colour by
melting the wax from one crayon and carefully apply it drop by drop to the main crayon he is working on and then carve it when it hardens.



The tricky part is that the melted wax will end up melting some of the main crayon as well and cause undesired streaks of one color going into the other when he want them to be distinct and separate. But over time he is getting better at handling the melted wax but it is definitely still a challenge at times.

Call of the Wild by Herb Williams

Nashville, Tennesse-based artist Herb Williams (previously here) uses melted and chopped-up Crayola crayon to create these colorful sculptures for his exhibitions, 'Call of the Wild'.



"I am one of the only independent buyers in the world who maintains an account with Crayola. Because I am in pursuit of larger ideas, the playful aspect of my medium is integral to the works of art I’m creating. I can subversively insert a concept that may bloom well after the initial recognition of the form as a familiar children’s implement."



"To create my work I need to produce sculpture on a grand scale (which takes thousands and thousands of crayons), so I order each color individually packed (3000 to a case) and cut the sticks down to the length I need. I then bond the paper—not the wax—to a form I have carved or cast, completely enveloping the form."



"I am interested in identifying iconic objects that society perceives to fit one role and then reintroducing them in different subtexts. Intriguing questions arise when an object associated with childhood, such as a crayon, is used to address issues dealing with more adult matters, such as sexuality, religion, and social hierarchy. The sculptures are childlike in their curious approach to the object as icon, but beguiling and satisfying to me in the use of pure color as form."



"Larger room installations also add the element of playing to the olfactory sense, as the scent of the wax completely saturates the environment. My intent is to continue to seriously create art that looks at itself unseriously."

Crayon Sculptures by Diem Chau

Seattle artist Diem Chau carved delicate sculptures of animals and people on colored crayons.



"After art school I was doing research into American folk art where people sit and whittle. I had a box of crayons sitting on my desk and I started carving on them, and it was wonderful. The wax was soft, easy to carve, and as soon as I made a cut, there was a facet to the crayon. It was nice and shiny, just like a gem."



This Northwest Natives Alphabet Set is a collection of 52 individually carved crayons representing every letter of the alphabet along with an associated word starting with each letter.



A is for Aquilegia (Columbine)
B is for Bald Eagle
C is for Cougar
D is for Dogwood
E is for Elk
F is for Fox
G is for Grizzly Bear

Diem Chau completed the artworks for an exhibition at the G. Gibson Gallery in Seattle.



H is for Heron
I is for Iris
J is for Juniper
K is for Killer Whale
L is for Lynx
M is for Mountain Goat

"Since the show is in the Pacific Northwest I thought I'd make a tribute to my neck of the woods. Every letter is paired with species that is native to the PNW (Pacific Northwest). It was a really fun project to put together and learned a lot about the local wild life... X and Z were especially hard to find."



N is for Northern Spotted Owl
O is for Otter
P is for Painted Turtle
Q is for Quinault Tribe
R is for Rhododendron
S is for Salmon
T is for Timberwolf



U is for Urchin
V is for Viola
W is for Wolf Eel
X is for Xanthogrammica (Giant Green Anemone)
