frank plant: cut steel statements

He’s an American artist living in Barcelona Spain.  He’s got opinions and he expresses those opinions by sketching them in steel.

Frank Plant’s cut-steel sculptures are fresh, hip commentaries on both the things that hurt and the things that heal. He captures the relief of a nation on the day after we chose hope as easily as he reminds us that poverty continues to oppress our world. And his sculptures talk about everything in between.

Relief (November 5, 2008)

Plant’s work hangs in galleries, on the living room walls of his customer’s homes and on graffiti-riddled telephone poles in the street. Whatever the view, his opinion is loud and clear and he knows how to stay on message.
