Wire Tree Inspiration/Artists

Two artists captured my attention with their wire tree sculptures.

Minskis (from Deviant Art)

The wire sculptures look very realistic and show the imperfections of trees in nature. Trees in nature do not stand completely upright. He also creatively put the trees in a setting with rocks. I'm not sure if it represents anything, but it sculpture itself seems to hold the artist's emotions. The overall presentation is very nice.

Sal Villano

Sal Villano was born into a large extended family of artists. From a young age, he payed close attention to art and was attracted to different kinds of visual expressions. He worked as a a part time sulptor while he was attending college. His uncle inspired him to become a sculptor. Sal saw his uncle creating figures of animals using wire and tissue paper. 

I like the expressive shape of the trees. The wire sculptures he make show the different seasons of trees. I especially like the wintery ones, the ones without leaves. The form of the tree was clearly thought out and not randomly put together. Again, the trees are really realistic. I hope that I would be able to use this inspiration and create something just as creative.
