Artwork location: United States
A cross-section of a dry oak trunk, or rather what remains of the tree, as the rest has turned to dust. Intriguingly, the leftover part strikingly resembles The Joker's smile. Two burning candles, representing eyes, add a surrealistic touch to the work.
The piece is coated with protective wax and gilding. The oak stand also features a smile, enhancing the whimsical yet unsettling theme of the artwork.
The work is created from a 300-year-old oak tree, which saw Napoleon Bonaparte, as the French army troops passed through these places.

Presentation
Alexander Cheglakov is an award-winning artist who gives a second life to the centuries old trees.
Each piece of art is the embodiment of nature with a new vision. Using his own hands and imagination, Alexander gives environmentally-friendly wood a second chance at life.
Alexander uses various materials: dried environmentally-friendly wood, Californian corals, fragments of antique stained glass, pieces of Sicilian glassware weathered by the sea, rhinestone, bronze figures and of course candles which radiate a warm atmosphere.
Alexander is a member of Eurasian Art Union and a member of Creative Union of Russian Artists.
