Elegant Bonsai Beauty but Not Really Bonsai 5/31/16

1main

Mixed media wire sculpture by Ken To. Though it might lack the simple elegance of some of Ken's best, still, so much artistry and fine-tuned craftsmanship in such a small space is quite impressive.

When we venture from bonsai into related arts, we sometimes receive a little ‘this is not bonsai‘ flak, but mostly the response is positive. This is the case with Ken To’s delightful little wire sculptures. Perhaps a little flak, but mostly appreciation.

This must be about the sixth times we’ve featured Ken’s bonsai sculptures (the first time was back in 2010 when he entered one in a Bonsai Bark contest and placed second). For more you can visit Ken’s online studio. You can also visit him on facebook.

No paint on this perfectly elegant beauty. Just colored wire.

I like the simplicity of the older unpainted ones that used only one color wire.

Paint makes for a more realistic look.
