Found-Object Metal Biplane Sculpture – Oil Can, Bottle Opener & Tools, 11” x 16” x 12”
Whimsical and inventive, this one-of-a-kind found-object metal sculpture depicts a stylized biplane with a character pilot at the controls. Skillfully welded from repurposed iron and steel components, the piece includes an oil can, “Quick & Easy” bottle opener, corkscrew, saw blade, and various hardware fittings—each piece retaining its original embossed markings as part of the design. The propeller spins freely, bringing a kinetic touch to this imaginative creation.
A striking example of industrial folk art and assemblage sculpture, this work embodies the creativity and humor found in mid- to late-20th-century upcycled metal art. It transforms everyday workshop tools into a playful aviator and machine, making it both a conversation piece and a testament to craftsmanship born from resourcefulness. Ideal for collectors of found-object art, steampunk design, or handmade metalwork.
