Traditional Art / Sculpture / Abstract

time: 1 week to compile materials, five hours to construct/plan out, and about an hour for paint job and stain finish.
materials: Old saw with broken handle, ice tire traction chain, flexy watering hose attachment, rusted paint can lid, burner component, gas burners, scrap metal shaped into twirls, outdated wrench, 20 lb slab of scrap wood from the mechanic, large air vent, and a few rusted nails to hold it all together.
weight: a little over 50 lbs. (I sprained my leg hauling it into the minivan. )
size: a little under 4 ft. tall, don't know width.

Like I said in past deviations, my gallery has been kind of dormant because of my adamant work on several sculptures, this being one of them. I don't like to post them on DA, because there's not much to be said about them unless you've truly gone through the rigor that I have to nail a perfect composition using old nuts and bolts. I'm still not at that point yet, but I hope to get better.

as for the sculpture, the entire construction is made from items i've found half buried around the lake, sitting on top of piles of trash, and some I had to crawl over old broken down cars to get to.

I didn't spend a cent.

I used some paint left over from the mural I painted in my parents' garage.

This took a lot of work, I hope someone out there can appreciate it.

egads I'm loving your found sculpture. near abstract grungy rusty lovelyness... <3
reminds me of a painting that I cannot recall the artist of at the moment XD *feels stupid*

I like this direction you're going in... I almost wonder if you could combine your figurative work with this sort of thing.... I really like this. I can't honestly say more people will but I really like this.

These are certainly fun, and also not like my regular work,

. I'll just have to see where these go. I made another one after "plumbing" and this one, but I wasn't too pleased with the result, I may or may not post it on DA.

The splattery stuff is inspired by Pollock, I'm not sure if he's anything to do with it.

anyway, thanks for the comment! Inspires me to keep going with these.

nnaaaahhh- you're way better than him. quite seriously. I've never liked his paint splatter- it just looked like ...well... paint splatter -.-;

this stuff is really texturally interesting, and uses elements I really love- i can't help but like it.

you should definitely keep this up if it's something you like to do. It sounds dangerous and taxing, but strangely rewarding, somehow.

You're quick to critique him,

you should study what he did a little more. I thought the same thing for the longest time.

as for my own experimental art, I'm getting a lot out of it experience-wise, but I'm not sure how long it is that I can keep it up.

Same deal with my wire sculptures.

I miss drawing quite a bit.

What's the theme of this piece?

*blackvragor Feb 18, 2009 Student Traditional Artist

I'm not sure, the idea came from the damage a body takes when shot close-range. I just tried to build that.

~funkymarshstomper Feb 19, 2009 Student Traditional Artist

Interesting.
