Giant Bamboo Stencil Sculptures
From youstencil.com I recently bought a Bamboo Stencil and I’m extremely pleased with the results I am getting, first on a wall and now playing around with other ideas where I can use the stencil set for commercial gain.
One of the ideas was to approach local restaurants – where a bamboo theme would suit the theme – and offer them my services as a bamboo wall-mural artist. My immediate thought went straight to Japanese and Chinese restaurants, following the cliche and then I came across an Indian Restaurant in the UK with a rather interesting and sculptural approach to applying a bamboo stencil effect to the walls.
What may not be immediately apparent from the pictures is that these are actual stencils (most likely crafted from metal) and then hung slightly away from the wall or cut into the wall itself to allow the light to get in and create a back-lit effect with the light bounce out at you through the actual giant stencil’s open spaces.
The design is very simple but its enough to make a dramatic effect and I guess, yeah. They have bamboo in India?
The Veer Dhara Indian restaurant is located in St Alban’s, producing authentic Indian curries… and apparently the king prawn tawa with yogurt; the lamb pasanda with cashews; and the fish tikka masala with whole red chillies are to die for.
A nice ‘graphic’ use of bamboo stencils!
They are great, I had never thought of using stencil graphics in this way! Thanks
Love it!
