About the Item

Explosive and full of movement, this welded steel rooster captures the wild kinetic energy of metal in motion. Layered, flame-like steel fragments form a dynamic body and tail that seem to burst outward, giving the sculpture a windswept, almost mythic presence. The rusted patina intensifies its raw, earthy character, while the sculptor’s confident manipulation of metal showcases remarkable craftsmanship. This piece stands as both a celebration of folk-metal tradition and a striking piece of abstract expressionist sculpture.
