David Vigo

As the sole creator of my artwork, each piece will start from cut sheet metal, a steel bar or found object. I use various techniques to texture the metal which include acid wash, grinding, natural rusting or applying gesso. Sometimes the metal is heat treated, washed in acid, or wired wheeled. Other times, the pieces are an assemblage of various metals or found objects. I then apply enamel paint, acrylic or oil paint over the textured metal, or will experiment with different combinations.
