Eddy Metal Sculpture
Description
Eddy Metal Sculpture All Metal Sculpture from scrap metal artist Mr Ko. This is simply one of the finest pieces from the "Music Collection" series. These piece is modeled after the character "Mr Eddy" from Iron Maiden. There is superb detail in these piece from the folds in the pants to the fine details of the back back.
The person behind these works of art is Mr. Ko, a friendly man who could be an Elvis impersonator if he took his glasses off and slicked back his hair. "I used to work with wood, not metal," he says. "We made everything ・statues, masks, furniture, sculptures, all hand-carved. But one day, a customer asked if I could make him a robot out of metal and that was the start of it. Mr Ko collects metal from scrap yards and uses mostly parts from cars and motorcycles Once back at the factory, the artists get to work turning the pile of scrap into a highly detailed sculpture. "After cleaning everything in gasoline, we use pneumatic shears to cut and shape the metal," Ko explains. "Then we use whatever tools we need to start fitting everything together. We use arc, argon or CO2 welding, depending on what type of weld we need." Asked why most of his sculptures represent movie characters, he replies simply: "Because that's what my customers ask for. They all seem to want characters from their favourite movies."
