Distinctive, wonderfully charming, superbly executed!
There must be many secrets to successful Jali openwork wood carving, and Suresh and Devender Garg are clearly masters of all of them. Such talent, what skills! This is one of those pieces where you continually ask yourself, "How could they do this"? It's a total delight and I am excited to have it in my home.
Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
