Contemporary artistHakon Anton Fagerascontinues the tradition with his realistic renditions of objects, animals, and people.
His ongoing series titledDowncaptures the wrinkled, lived-in appearance of plush pillows.
These carvings mimic the inviting appearance of cushions that have just been slept on via their distinct puckered shapes.
Similarly, Fageras puts the same amount of care into his renderings of people.
It’s similar to classical sculptures from hundreds of years ago.
