Russ Connell

Russ Connell is a contemporary metal sculptor whose work transforms industrial steel into expressive, organic forms inspired by the natural world. Through masterful welding and fabrication techniques, he balances strength with elegance, creating sculptures that evoke movement, growth, and the resilience of nature. His work celebrates the beauty of raw materials while demonstrating the remarkable potential of handcrafted metal as a fine art medium.

"My art is an exploration of form, I love building things. Whether it's painted, polished, hammered, welded, or rusted I like getting into the studio and playing with metal. Pieces I build for myself usually have an organic formation, I don't often sketch or have an end result in mind. Instead I'll build parts individually and let them naturally flow in relation to each other." -Russ Connell
