Metal Wall Art Guide
The many styles of metal wall art available are only limited by your imagination! Between manufacturers and specialty artisans, acquiring truly beautiful metal works of art to hang on your walls is not only simple, but a delightful shopping experience as well. Products range from basic square metal panels to more intricate and ornate designs. Matching your home dcor with metal art is easy as the styles available are plentiful.
The metals used in making these works of art can be anything from galvanized steel to copper wire. The metal is bent into shapes and sizes or cut from large sheets and then welded together to create metal wall art. Functioning pieces of art include metal candle holders that can be mounted on your wall to create a luminous centerpiece for your home. Custom pieces by specialty artisans can be made to suit your personal taste and style if nothing on the commercial market fits your home design.
If thoughts of plain old silver or gold-colored metal come to mind when thinking of metal wall art, think again. The metallic colors used in many designs can be bright and fun, like citrus hues. Other styles utilize deep matte shades like burgundy, purple and blue. Shapes range anywhere from animals and nature-based designs like flowers to panels, plaques and abstract art. The works of art you can accumulate for your home is limited only by your imagination thanks to not only what has already been manufactured, but what you can come up with on your own and have made for you specially.
Through the use of sanding discs, artisans can produce etched works of metal wall art. Like a sketch artist utilizes a pencil on paper, a metal smith can use these discs in a similar fashion to “draw” directly onto the metal sheets. Hand-grinding into the metal not only creates visible designs on the surface, but textural art too. A lacquer finish coats works of art in this style to protect it from discoloring that can come with age.
Metal can also be cut and manipulated to look like certain animals, flowers and plants. For instance, wall art in the shape of a tree with branches covered in leaves utilizes a solid metal base for the trunk and metal wire welded and shaped to branch out, resulting in a tasteful metal take on nature. The styles are not limited to nature or animals as nautical themes and different styles from various art periods are popular choices too.
