Ralph Wickstrom Art
American
Ralph Wickstrom is a retired college professor who has been living in Ripon, Wisconsin since 1961. His interest in and involvement with art over a period of more than three decades has recently led to a change from primarily collecting to producing artwork. Since retirement, he has devoted most of his productive effort to the making of indoor and outdoor metal sculptures from scrap steel. Ralph finds it challenging and deeply satisfying to give new life to scrap steel, or as sculptor Isamu Noguchi eloquently put it, to "reincarnate it as a creation." Universally appealing geometric forms and abstract shapes are the basic elements used in his compositions.

Located in Milwaukee, WI

High Desert Composition - 3-D Steel Wall Sculpture, Linear Geometric Form
By Chris Hill
Located in Chicago, IL
"High Desert Composition" is a welded steel wall sculpture where the lines between two- and three-dimensional art are blurred. The viewer has a variety of experiences from multiple vantage points where volumes and angles disconnect and reconnect as one moves around the piece. The hand welded steel is painted with acrylic paint in a kaleidoscope of color tones.

The Path - Abstract Geometric Form, Hand Painted Welded Steel Wall Sculpture
By Chris Hill
Located in Chicago, IL
This dynamic wall sculpture is created from sheets of steel, welded together in an abstract geometric pattern. Muted shades of blue, grey, purple and green dominate and are balanced by softer hues. While the work adheres to a rigid, rational geometry, this sculptures suggest lyrical movement, apparent weightlessness and improvisation as the title suggests.
