New Website Coming Soon!
John's wesite, dubsteel.com, is currently being re-designed and expected to launch in early 2012. The new site will include not only his amazing sculptures, but his adventures in VW building and a blog about life at the shop with LaPaso. We also plan to add video How-To guides about metal work and VW repairs. Check back soon! The new site is being built by www.LiveLoveCreateRepeat.com.
Recycled Stainless Steel Sculpture
As far back as I can remember, I have enjoyed creating. Now, as an apprentice I have found myself in the shadow of a great artist, Jim LaPaso. My daily work is building stainless steel kinetic sculpture. Through the influence of my mentor I have been introduced into the life of art and a world of possibilities. I’ve been working with stainless steel for four years and have been building my own sculpture for a short time longer. Through my apprenticeship I have the resources and inspiration to bring my ideas and visions to life. My sculpture is all recycled stainless steel and spans many different styles, from organic to industrial. The final piece of art is usually the result of 2 or 3 evolutions that occur as it
is created. Through my art I have been introduced to new artists, new ideas, friendships, organizations, collaborations, and partnerships. My strongest motivations come from working with and sharing ideas with other artists, especially those who survive through their art. I feel these influences are the most important for an artist who wants to survive by his or her craft. My pieces are a direct reflection of my imagination and influenced by the growth and struggles of a young artist. They offer a unique insight into potential since all of the steel was produced with a different intention. What you see in my creation is perhaps it’s final intention.
I believe everyone should have pieces of art in their home that bring joy to their lives. All pricing is negotiable and custom pieces are always possible. Please email me anytime with questions or comments.
Peace,
