Takes me way back to the days of David Smith and his works. Also somewhat evocative of the works of Harold Balazs, Jr. Very nice work and the scale is impressive.
George, amazing work. I am a scrap metal assemblage artist and I find your pieces both inspiring and humbling. Glad you are staying with found metal in your compositions. Best wishes for your future work!
George! This is by far my favorite of all time. I am a artist my self, I can remmber going out for a drive to scrap yards and having this overwelming sensation about a certain object whating to be found. I understand the importance of having the peice stand on its own being if it has a funtion to have it remain in its function. I must tell you about the casting of your obtject is a great idea and I would be not the only one to say that having a duplicate object that you created would be fabulas. I dont know whom told you it would not be a good idea, screw that I see it in you, you know the peices that should be casted, (cast them and send them out to all the Art schools so they can have a sense of whom you are and what your about. Your work is great. I would love to have a miniture peice. Hats of to you, with great invy Shesobudha Sherry Clarke of Norwalk Ca
Working with stainless would be fun. For the piece I have in mind I would probably TIG weld them with a powertig or something. I love the colors of TIG welded stainless.
Tigging stainless, especially thin stainless can put a lot more heat into thin to thick parts compare to mig welding.....you would not think it, but due to the large area of the tig arc compared to the very small area of a mig.....it works that way..... there are times when tig its the answer, but do not discount mig....the one thing with mig, is to have the proper shielding gas, not just plain argon, as stainless is very sluggish when molten....a 90/7.5/2.5 helium-argon-co2 mix is preferred......you can sometimes get away with a 75-25 or 90-10 ar/co2 mix, but risk getting carbide precipitation and loss of corrosion protection......something to consider......I hpe this helps 7 years after you made your comment, cheers, Paul 'Paulie' Brown form weld.com............................@@jacksonlee5189
Yea, it's hard to find good materials these days. I've tried asking Scrap Yards if I could walk the yard and pick some metal that I would purchase and they won't have any part of it.
Nice work George. Check out my Giant Killer Robot project, He is my first sculpture. I had him on display at the Calgary Comic and entertainment expo. It was a blast. His facebook persona is Patronus Allen.
Ya work with what ya got....Must be nice to have your own scrap metal yard....You cant get metal from scrap yards anymore unless maybe you have an inside connection...I make things, but spend a lot of time trying to find materials.
So glad to see you in the studio and be connected with your creativity. It is all about living creativity. Thanks Please do check my art work at RUclips: Lorenzo De Francesco Broken cross as well the art of sculpture.
Go George go. Like George you to can become wealthy and have fun selling junk to cities everywhere desperate to be portrayed as cultured and enlightened. Lol
"Found Object Art" is a great way to disperse JUNK/scrap metal, to the gullible public. It's not very original, or creative. It's kind of like a "paint-by-number Picaso"! It's mostly just an exercise in dumpster diving, trash hauling, chopping up odd pieces, and welding them into something hideously unique, and "naming" it, so as to sound deeply "profound"/or pseudo-intellectual! I'd rather see a true sculptor make something look like it was not made from scrap metal/junk.
Just like in stone sculpture, there is always another level. This guy's work is on another level.

You are a great artist. I'm just starting out with my everlast welder and some scraps but looking at videos of great art is really getting me stoked.
