Buy a unique ball bearing metal sculpture

This ball bearing sculpture is part of my abstract series of sculptures. It does not symbolize something particular. I mostly play with form and materials. Here I liked the composition between a hard material such as metal and a soft cloth.

What is a ball bearing used for?

The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each other.

I use only metal scrap parts for my art sculptures. Passionate about mechanics and art, I started creating with metal and scrap since the age of 18. My themes vary between humanoid, figurative, transportation, motorcycle, abstract. The latest years I have adopted a passion for lighting. I started adapting lighting in my art sculptures. Why not combine uniqueness and functuionality.

Industrial lamps – a modern reflection of the factory appearance

Many artists set up their workshops in empty factories in the early 20th century. Τhat was the beginning of a trend in interior design that is very in trend today. But when these buildings were later converted into studio apartments or lofts, their minimal and functional style found its way into the world of modern life. Hard materials are characteristic of this interior style. Industrial lamps are made of various metals and materials such old industrial parts, plumbing piping, refurbished tools.

Wood and concrete are also often used. In terms of color, pure neutrals prevail, combined with rich color touches. For example, black, gray, brown, and white are combined with bright red and glossy yellow. Industrial light bulbs represent something original, unconventional. They deliberately exude a certain factory atmosphere and look a bit harsh and harsh. Industrial design lights fit perfectly with bare walls or open pipes in the house, but also retain their elegant look when added to a modern interior. They give light to different rooms of the house and always add a personal touch to your furniture.

Cat lamp

Cat lamp is a metal decoration lamp representing a cat made of 3mm metal sheet.

Where did we get our influence about this Cat lamp ?

We, steampunk art group, discovered that people would love a series of animal lamps in their house. So we designed a cat lamp, a dog metal lamp and other various animal lamps for kids.

The natural environment of African landscape, the primitive way of life and my father’s metal workshop where I used to spend many hours playing are the basic reasons that led me to metal sculpture by using engine’s spare parts. They provide me with shapes and forms which I weld, grind, polish and finally varnish. I feel that I always have something new to discover which lead to new ideas and inventions. Using parts is about constructing, assembling, disassembling. Try the infinite possibilities of combining various objects to form what I have in my mind.

The strong needs of an individual to explain his existence, to seek his origins, the power of the mind are themes that fascinate me. A challenge for me would be in creating huge metal sculptures involving movement in order to create kinetic sculptures (kinetic art). I admire kinetic artists such as Jean Tinguely, Alexander Calder and classic sculptors such as Henry Moore, David Smith. My goal through my artwork is to convey the way I experience life and my exploration of art by using an industrial material which is being transformed to an unusual medium in Art.

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.
