Nol Putnam, Untitled, Not Dated
The circular motion of the spirals move the eye around the piece which makes it interesting and creates a wave-like flow.
Drew Flaherty, “Gargoyle Metal Sculpture,” Not Dated
This piece keeps interest because of the complexity of the structure. It is built from several different parts jumbled together to create this fierce creature.
Johan Jonsson, Untitled, Not Dated
The characters are unique in design because of their fragile build, yet express a sense of connection from each figure to the other.
Gabriel Dishaw, No title given, Not Dated
The shoe gives off a raw presence because of its random assortment of materials and the representation of a Nike shoe.
Maker Faire, “12 Metal Sculpture,” May 2008
The stance of the figure is powerful with emotion and because of the design and material, its as though you can feel the layers in the body and really see the structure throughout.
Holly Fisher, “Job,” 2008
The simplicity of the statue allows you to clearly make out a design that moves around the figure nicely and balances out with the solid hooves and head.
Theodore Roszak, “Kopernicus,” 1959
The sculpture references to the famous astronomer, who created the first heliocentric theory of the solar system in 1500s, as well as the space race during this time period. It has a sense of wonder that captivates imagination and brings the familiarity of space to the viewer.
Bruce Gray, Suspended Metal Sculpture, March 8, 2007
This piece uses magnets to suspend the wires around the metal circle, this creates an interesting tension point that is a unique concept and use of material.
John Searles, “Mobius,” Not Dated
The texture and coloring of the sculpture gives the curving movement a sense of serenity and gives off a peaceful expression.
Located in the Jill Underhill Gallery, “Big Hug,” Not dated
The figure is playful and depicts a warm joyful atmosphere that makes the piece larger then it actually is.
Stephen Fitz-Gerald, “Figurative-Sculpture-Arch-of-Triumph-1,” Not Dated
From the use of materials there is a smooth texture that surrounds the body and shapes a pattern that molds the build of the sculpture.
Stephen Fitz-Gerald, “Figurative-Sculpture-Asia-Face-Detail,” Not Dated
There is a weightless vibe because of the head being held up from the “hair,” this forms a strong yet peaceful quality to the character. Also, the waves in the hair complement the face by its texture and flow around the head.
Bruce Beasley, “Titiopoli's Lighthouse,” 1970
The image is breathtaking because of the reflections throughout the sculpture, it captures the outside world and places it inside this “mirror” as it lights up the piece.
Leigh Dyer, “Run The Denmark Hill Wolf,” March 14, 2009
The detailing is incredible, it looks as if the sheep have soft fur and the horns are rigid and hard. The artist sticks to realism and portrays the value with intense life-like qualities.
Alex Zivanovic, “Metal Sculpture 2,” February 3, 2009
This piece is not very stimulating because it does not have a smooth flow in its structure, nor does it have any appealing qualities. The fact that it was beaten into its shape gives wrinkles and folds that are not particularly satisfying.
Bruce Gray, Metal Sculpture, 2007
The use of materials suits the subject and projects a grunge look that gives the bike an edge, as well as the sharp wheels.
Anthony Holand, “Super Bowl XLIII Metal Sculpture,” 2009
The image presents the action of the ball flying through the air with flames, and shows this by having a smooth surface for the ball and the flames apart of the object pointing upwards. This creates movement and personality to the structure.
Kristen Hoard, “Release,” Not Dated
The illuminating light creates a mysterious aspect to the piece and brings out color in the metal.
Richard Walker, “Metallic Red Flame Fire Design,” Not Dated
The flames stand out in front of a plain red background and makes the structure glow.
Osian Batyka-Williams, “Metal Tube Chair,” Not Dated
There is a unique use of material, the circular tubes, that gives the chair fun characteristics and style.
Ashley Baldwin-Smith, “Scale of Balance,”
The placement of the triangular pieces really define its title and gives this work a simple yet satisfying display.
Tracey Nelson, Untitled, May 25, 2009
I absolutely love this sculpture because of its brilliant colors that pop out with each shape and create a beautiful mix of curves and lines pleasing to the eye.
Michael Pollard, “Corazon,” Not Dated
I like this piece because it resembles the human heart, hence its name “Corazon,” which is spanish for love. It is not like a Valentine's Day heart but rather a real organ, this is what gives it a beautiful shape filed with curls and knots that are truly unique.
Susan Seeger, “Moon,” Not Dated
The rounded shape complements the jagged edges on the upper portion, and the coloring makes it seem as though the viewer is gazing at the stars.
Rachel Denny, “Ewe,” 2009
The mix of fabric and metal is nicely depicted here by the sheep being covered with strips of various colors that gives it a “cool” look.
