New York based artist, Thomas J Savino, has been developing his skills as a metal sculpture artist over the last several years. With backgrounds in physics, music, engineering, dance, and metal trades, Thomas has found ways to unify his experiences into whimsical and expressive sculptures focused on capturing the essence of motion and emotion in static forms constructed from reclaimed materials.

 

Thomas got his start in metal sculpture while at trade school messing around with old bent strips of metal, but is now best known for his works in welded cutlery. There’s a madness to Thomas’ method which he describes as a blend of photographic research, muppety miming, brute force directed with intention, and a delicate touch.

 

Thomas draws inspiration from personal experience, people watching, nature, and a love for dance and movement.
