自学成才的美国艺术家把回收的材料变成惊人的雕塑

What do you see when looking at an unused fork, a screw, a car part, and other scraps? Most of us see something that belongs in a dump, except for Brian Mock, a sculptor and a metal revolutionist who is bringing reclaimed materials back to life in a form of spectacular sculpture art.

当你看到一个没用过的叉子、一个螺丝钉、一个汽车零件和其他残片时，你会看到什么?我们大多数人看到的都是原本属于垃圾场的东西，但雕塑家、金属革命家布莱恩·莫克除外。他正在用一种壮观的雕塑艺术，将回收材料重新赋予生命。

This utterly talented American artist based in Aloha, Oregon, has been exploring art by drawing and woodcarving from an early age, and developed his creative passion for upcycling back in the 1990s. After teaching himself how to weld, he gained incredible technical skills that in combination with imagination and experience turn discarded trash into the most beautiful sculptures of animals, people, robots, cars, and other figurative and custom objects that can be both decorative and functional. The artist often places himself or his dog in pictures for scale so we can truly appreciate the impressive size of his unique artworks.

这位才华横溢的美国艺术家住在俄勒冈州的阿洛哈市，从小就通过绘画和木雕探索艺术，并在20世纪90年代发展出了对升级自行车的创作热情。在自学了如何焊接后，他获得了令人难以置信的技术技能，结合想象力和经验，将废弃的垃圾变成最美丽的动物、人、机器人、汽车和其他具象和定制对象，既可装饰，又可实用。艺术家经常把自己或他的狗放在照片的比例，所以我们可以真正欣赏他独特的艺术作品的令人印象深刻的大小。

"My sculptures are made entirely from reclaimed items and repurposed materials (almost all metal but sometimes I’ll add bits of plastic for color). I like that people interact with them, they have fun looking for objects they can identify. It started as a hobby, but as I got better at sculpting, I turned it into a full-time profession,” the artist, whose cool sculptures are exhibited all across the country, told Bored Panda.

“我的雕塑完全是由回收物品和再利用材料制成的(几乎全是金属，但有时我也会加点塑料来上色)。我喜欢人们与它们互动，他们从寻找自己能识别的物体中获得乐趣。刚开始只是个爱好，但随着我雕刻得越来越好，我就把它变成了一份全职工作，”这位艺术家告诉Bored Panda，他的酷雕塑在全国各地展出。
