The Screw Artist, Andrew Myers - Club100
Hello Art Lovers, I will tell you about the extraordinary art of screw art and its creator, the screw artist. The artist of this fascinating art is Andrew Myers, who lives in Laguna Beach, California. Creating 3D sculptures from screws is an amazing idea! I will talk about how this idea emerged and how is its story :)
I got all the photos from Andrew Myers's instagram profile.
At first Myers' goal was to sculpt from screws. However, the artist, who said that he failed in this aim, says that he decided to paint the screws. After this decision, we can say that a new art is born out of failure.
I admire people who don't give up and turn negatives into positives :) Myers is definitely one of those inspiring people. In the photo below, you see a photograph of Myers with one of his works. I also added the first and the last version of the work. So that you can see the process of art.
Myers first invented the screw art using bolts and oil paint in 2007. Screws and such materials are not commonly seen as art materials. Therefore, this art is quite interesting. These works look like the back view of the relief art.
Myers's 3D Porsche work was made of screws of various depths. You can watch the video of this and many other works on the artist's Instagram profile. It is not easy to see 3D in photos, but we can see all the details in videos. Approximately 8,000 screws are used in this work, each of which is hand-painted.
Myers says it takes an average of 3 months to produce a work. He uses between 5 and 20,000 screws in his works. The artist also has very successfully designed clothing works. I love the naturalness of the fabric texture of the shirt. The artist named the jacketed outfit "Midnight in August". This artifact is also made of more than 7,000 screws. Hand painted on all screws.
According to Myers, an artist not only creates a work, but also he thinks that the artist must have something to say. Myers loves to have something to say about his art. The artist has designed this work for a client for Valentine's Day :)
The artist made this work in 2018. The artist named this work “Fading thoughts”. The artist said that in this work, he describes his feelings in 2018 (Left one). The artist used automotive paint as paint in his boxing glove work. He also used leather straps other than screws. The creases of the glove look very realistic.
He named his work, which is a teddy bear and a pig, "It's been a rough year, Pinky". In this work he made in 2022, he said that the photographs did not reflect the works well enough. Myers said that the video could show the work better, but not as effectively as seeing it in reality.
When you visit his profile you will see that the videos show the works better.
I had a lot of fun preparing this post. I hope screw art interests you too :) I'm attaching Myers' instagram profile and his website below.
