The Popularity Of Metal Wall Sculpture

By Janine Hughes


Even the most stylish room looks unfinished when the walls are empty. Metal wall sculpture was popular in the 1960s and 70s but has been making a real comeback recently. A huge variety of styles, shapes and sizes featuring all sorts of subject matter are available for purchase from many local and online stores. These sculptures transform empty walls from drab to extraordinary in no time.

Many of the artists producing these pieces use the best quality metals that are rust proof and durable. Aluminum, steel, copper and bronze are some of the metals used to enhance walls both inside and outside. These metals all have different qualities, colors and weight. Copper, for example, develops a lovely patina when exposed to the elements.

The mounting of such sculptures is important. The hardware used for mounting needs to be strong enough as they can be quite heavy. If not mounted properly, they may be unstable. Brackets are commonly used but for lighter pieces, a hook may be sufficient. Instructions may be given with the piece.

Artists making these pieces draw their inspiration from many different sources. Abstract pieces are expressions of the imagination of the artist. Nature often provides inspiration. Trees, flowers, birds, insects and wild animals are all used as subjects and the subject matter can be used in many different ways resulting in more traditional, lifelike images, impressionistic pieces and even funky, fun ones.

All sorts of styles are available from contemporary and abstract to vintage and folk. There is something to suit every type of decor and every size of building, from large commercial blocks to small cottages. In an office block, several panels may cover a large expanse in the entrance with abstract swirling silvers, chromes and greys creating excitement and adding depth and dimension to the space. In a small cottage, a small vintage clock sculpture would be more appropriate.

The taste of a person always comes into play when choosing art. Modern and funky, conservative, ultra modern and elegant tastes are all catered for in stores. A beautifully sculpted bowl of flowers adds elegance to any space. Sea creatures like fish, turtles and dolphins are appreciated by those who live in beach houses. Some of the abstract, ultra modern pieces today are very inspiring to those who live in contemporary styled homes and want to introduce a wow factor.

Just about anyone can find a piece to suit their budget, whether this is a small, simple one of coffee cups with steam curling out of them for the kitchen or a trio of flowers with long stems for a living room. It is often worth spending more on a really special piece as this can become the focal point of a room and all other decor can be planned around it.

A piece that is well chosen will be one that gives pleasure for many years, enhancing an area with its style, colors and textures. It will draw the attention of anyone entering the space and even become a talking point. From abstract contemporary and vintage to folk art, everyone will find able to find the perfect piece of art for their purpose.
