Igor Verniy is, ASTOUNDINGLY, a 22-year old Russian Artist, who graduated from Moscow State University, and is an engineer in the field of metal, and a specialist in the evolution of stars and astrophysics. He once said that: "In the 21st century, there are still fans of old school ideas. These are people who are nostalgic for rusty metal, gears, and the smell of motor oil." Igor considers himself to be one of those True Metal fans. He creates his models out of auto parts, parts of old watches, cigarette lighters, home appliances, eletronics, and the list goes on!
First, one of his more famous pieces, titled: "Dove of Peace", a revival of the world-wide acknowledged symbol for peace.
"Born of metal, the Dove of Peace now ascends to the heaven in order to become the herald of a new era!" -Igor Verniy This piece took 3 months to build and uses stainless, galvanized, and chrome-plated steels, brass, and aluminum!
Igor Verniy recreated the famous fish from "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" written by AS Pushkin in 1833 in this sculpture. He used the description and drawings left by Alexander Pushkin and a carp to base his sculpture off of.
Igor used stainless steel cups, copper, chrome steel, a bicycle chain, jigsaw wing scooter, etc. to put this piece together in about one month.
"Duck" is one of Igor's finest works. The model resembles the movements of real birds. Igor himself lives in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk and had a chance to observe wild ducks by the bank of Yenisei River in August 2013. He studied its body proportions, behavior, and movement manners in its natural habitat. He made a special focus to the wings. Traditionally, the piece is made of regular household metal waste, such as stainless steel, galvanized steel, and chrome-plated iron, skillfully fitted together.
Ladybug. Because of the spherical shape of the wing, the interior open space had to be done in a clever system, according to Igor. As a result, he constructed the wings to open, or "lift" so that they could be opened and reveal the hidden gears and trinkets inside!
The Bat's wings can fold in any position, open its mouth, turn its head, etc. thanks to movable parts worked in during its construction. The ears are also mobile. Leather, steel, and iron compose this piece and it took Igor Verniy only one month to assemble it.
The Metal Butterfly has movable parts (like many of its predecessors). CO2 gas cylinders, parts of a hood, brass plumbing parts, guitar strings, the case of a computer, and a lighter were used to construct this beautiful sculpture.
