Wood Vibe Tribe artists Chris Boux, Andy Smith, & Kyle Vibes create a form of wood art called intarsia. Not typical of traditional intarsia work which is more of a folk art. These artists have found a way to take this traditional method and evolve it to a place that the world has never seen. Using a large variety of different woods from all around the world (mostly reclaimed, or salvaged) these ar
tist are creating the most colourful wood mandalas and wall hangings without using any stains, or paint. These young artists in just less than 2 years are already starting to receive global recognition for their works. Working together to help each other evolve their craft, has helped these artist grow faster than they could ever imagine. Each sharing their unique skills and creative talents has been the perfect recipe for expanding these wood wizards into realms they never dreamed of. The Collective was formed in early 2015 to create an umbrella in where wood artists who share a similar vision and passion for the arts, can work and share under. Sharing skills, and new ideas, sharing gallery opportunities, commissioned projects, collective website, and all social media avenues. This form of collaboration has made it possible for these artists to grow and thrive at a rate much faster than normal. Proving the great power that lies in working together. Though they all make similar art which would normally be viewed as competition, these artists have committed to transcending that old paradigm and are succeeding in helping each other find their own place in the artist world. 2016 is shaping up to be a big year for this collective. With over 15 events under their belt already (5 world class events) The Wood Vibe Tribe has a busy and exciting year mapped out already. Much love and my the forest be with yew!
