FF: American Metal Sculptor, Anthony Hansen!


Anthony Hansen is an American Metal Sculptor, born and raised in northern California, who prefers to work with found automotive sheet metal. His work is shown nationally in fine art festivals and galleries. Have you ever seen any of his work???






Anthony Hansen alternates between abstract pieces and heart-themed works. He says: "I like using automotive sheet-metal because it has such character and warmth. Every scratch, spot of rust, and faded patch offers visual texture and interest. Text and type, through the use of old signs and license plates adds a dimension of interest and implied storyline. I enjoy creating pieces that are a patchwork of the past and the present, a mixing of the bright and shiny, as well as the dull and faded. Every piece of scrap-metal and license plate has a story. I enjoy trying to weave some of those stories together into my own metal poem."





Hansen also includes that "Creating hearts out of found/reclaimed elements constantly reminds me of the humanity that we all share, and how closely all of our different lives and journeys are connected.” (Source: Anthony Hansen)
