Broken Soul

This .life sized sculpture is created by George Dumesco, a Tasmanian artist. It is made entirely from a single piece of Huon Pine, a type of wood native to Tasmania. The sculpture depicts a male figure hunched over, with a smooth finish on the wood. The sculpture is carved from a single log, showcasing the artist’s skill in manipulating and shaping the wood. The sculpture features a white chili pepper placed over the private area of the figure, adding a subtle touch of contrast to the natural color of the wood. The pose of the figure is suggestive of physical or emotional pain, and the simplicity of the design allows for the viewer to interpret the piece in their own way.
