Wooden Bags from Livio De Marchi

In the museum of Livio de Marchi amazing expositions of everyday items, which are made of wood are introduced. The author of these sculptures skillfully works up natural material, and wood turns into fabric in his hand-rough wood gains folds and streaming lines. Livio De Marchi is a native Venetian. He was interested in decorative sculpture since early youth. He took part in seminars, dedicated to Venetian traditions in sculpture, and graduated from Academia di Belle Arti in Venice. Livio De March has worked with marble and bronze, but his favourite material remains wood. In his opinion exactly in wood one can give dynamics and make items live real lives. Really, his wooden expositions look like real ones, they can hardly been differed from ordinary ones. The master cuts head attires, dresses, suits, underwear, tablecloth, shoes, bags out of wood. Bags of Livio De March strike by their similarity with real materials: paper, leather and textile. Small bag-sacks, theatrical bags, bags for shopping, cases, travel bags, briefcases are exhibited in the museum. Livio De March shows all the properties of leather in wood: folds, bends, and volume. He works at everything to th very detail: he cuts out thin relief handles and fittings, decorates the surface of the bags with wooden décor, makes chains out of wood rings. Skillfully cut out patterns in the form of flowers decorate theatrical bags. They are real pieces of elaborate work. There are colored models looking like their leather analogues. For example, a black wallet may not be differed from the original one.
