Haitian Steel Drum Metal Art - The talented metal artist draws his images on to a flattened, recycled 55 gallon steel drum. He then cuts and shapes the metal, with hammer and chisel into a detailed art piece, ready to display in your home. This traditional art of converting oil drums into amazing wall sculptures began in th 1940's and is mark of the Haitian imagination and resourcefulness, bringing satifaction to the metal artist and bringing a livlihood to his family.
Haitian oil drum art is becoming, more and more, an appreciated eco-friendly art form, sought by many, for decorative use in their home or outdoor patio area. Haitian reclaimed metal sculptures are used as unique wall hangings. Haitian oil drum sculptures may be hand painted to create bright, tropical designs or may be left in the natural steel drum natural patina. The recycled metal sculptures have a protective clear coating, making them are suitable for indoor or outdoor decorative use. If you feel the need, you can further protect your Haitian drum art, when used outdoors, by applying a coat of clear varnish every year or so, or as you see that it might need it.
