Scrap metal animal sculptures by JK Brown are remarkable pieces of art that showcase the beauty and diversity of nature. JK Brown is a British artist and sculptor who lives in rural West Wales, where he draws inspiration from the native wildlife. He uses fragments of discarded metal, such as nails, screws, bolts, and chains, to create realistic models of animals, such as birds, butterflies, horses, and dragons. He carefully reassembles these pieces by welding, bending, and twisting them, until they form the shape and texture of the animal.
He does not paint or coat the metal of most of his creations, but lets it rust and weather naturally, giving his sculptures a unique and organic look. His work is a testament to his love for animals and his skill as a metalworker. He also demonstrates how waste materials can be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, raising awareness about environmental issues and recycling.
