Andrew Myers: sculpture ranging from hardware

To make a portrait / sculpture, the German artist Andrew Myers uses between 8,000 and 10,000 screws, which means it will ; an excellent relationship with its hardware certainly trust that, at year end, the calendar will give the company.

A new way of " sculpt" a face, using a panel pre-drilled holes in one hand and turn industrial quantities of vines that create the plasticity of forms using different depth of engagement ...

So come to light metal faces that should be looked at from a distance to get the big picture, ; not without a certain charm that draws more artisanal and industrial atmosphere but a little futuristic.

It is not easy and mechanical as it seems, must have the clear idea in mind, as well as skilful and patient accuracy combined with the artist's touch.

To customize, then, Andrew Myers plays the "background" of his portraits with the 3D "Yellow pages" ... but strictly of the places where the customer lives or to whom the portrait is linked by personal events, with the intention, perhaps, to tie it and place it at least in a geographical context, because so much metal could be impersonal.

Chromaticity is by a combination of metal screws of different colors

But if the original can be found by visiting site you can see entries made using other techniques that are recognized in Myers an artist anything but improvised.
