The metal wall folk art shown in this site is made from used oil drums which are burnt, opened and flattened. The artist then sketches the designs onto them and cuts out his designs with a hammer and chisel. The characteristics of haitian art metal sculptures include areas that are concave or convex to create depth; intricate patterns created by hammering in "bumps" of different heights to create texture and lines chiseled in to define characteristics of the object (e.g.: folds in clothing, veins on a leaf), The sculpture is usually finished with a clear sealer or in a brownish hue, and sometimes painted in brilliant colors (see our Painted Drum Art page).
