Rustic Statuette - Man's Best Friend

• £35.00 : Man's Best Friend

  

It's not just any old iron pieces that are soldered together to form these Rustic Statuettes, but pieces of automobiles, bicycles and machinery previously destined for the scrapheap.

After sorting and thoroughly cleaning, the metal pieces are soldered into expressive figures and finished with a protective coat of clear varnish. Spark plugs become bodies, long screws are moulded into arms and legs, washers, nails and flat metal plates form park benches and a pet dog.

These statuettes are designed as rustic works of ornamental art so may include sharp edges and care should be taken when handling. Each is individually handmade therefore the statuette you receive may differ slightly from the photos shown here. Choose your favourite design from our current collection.

Made by: Armando Ramirez Location: Mexico Background: All my life I've lived in a town of artisans and this has motivated me to create new art. Inspiration: At first I began to craft figures from scraps and discarded mechanical parts. And so I began to create sculptures, soldering the pieces together and giving them shape as I imagined they should look. They are rustic in nature, designed to recycle discarded objects by converting them into art. Best compliment: Comment from a previous customer: “This is an artist with exceptional talent... an ability to "see" in recycled materials the most incredible new inventions”
