Custom welded metal work may not spring immediately to mind when considering artistic displays, yet it can meet various demands for beautiful and enduring pieces. Municipalities want to invest in weather-proof and durable, yet pleasant and eye-catching public attractions for parks and downtown exhibitions. Businesses also need to create an atmosphere that visually welcomes customers and clients with pieces that can withstand years of hard use by the public, minimal maintenance by staff, and still look as good as the day they were installed. Custom welding in Denver is an obvious answer to aesthetically pleasing, permanent public presentations—custom welded artistic pieces can meet all of these needs and far more.
Misconceptions About Welding
Few people think of welding as a creative, arts-and-crafts type of endeavor. Welding may carry connotations of being strictly functional. Some people may concede that a custom welded weathered steel piece would be appropriate in an industrial setting; however, very few people envision the true potential of custom welding as an art form.
Welding is certainly useful for metal structures and repairs; however, that does not render welded works crude, straightforward, or unsophisticated. Conversely, custom welded art pieces can be delicate, complex, and classy while keeping the enduring good looks of metal for decades.
There Are Many Examples of More Timely, Refined Applications for Welding
Welding services in Denver have produced statuary, sculptures, custom decorative metal deck railings, and far more. Even functional pieces reflect unique beauty and character, and are on public display for all to enjoy. From weathering steel raised planters to louvered restaurant panels, lovely custom welded pieces demonstrate the softer side of steel art pieces.
Many competent welders are given to aesthetic appreciation—they learn early in training to visually recognize the beauty of a good weld. While this is a functional beauty, some go on from there to further develop their artistry, branching out into sculpture or other almost purely aesthetic metal work.
Some art metal pieces combine form and function. Welded steel furniture is an excellent example of structural, functional pieces that take wonderfully to artistic decorative touches. Park benches with slats wrought into sprouting twigs with buds, leaves, and blossoms or sleek, modern blackened steel serving bars exemplify the wide variety of decorating themes possible with art metal. Custom signs are another item with limitless visual potential—anything you can dream for your custom signage can be accomplished by a skilled and creative welder.
