Beethoven

"Beethoven", was a challenge to put life and feeling into a portrait with a very limited pallet, steel, brass and negative space. The portrait was cut by hand with a plasma cutter. The frame is assembled primarily from small pieces of scrap steel. The metal parts are mounted on a dark acrylic to enhance the negative space.

"Beethoven" is part of a series. They are made by hand from random parts, they are all different. The one you see in a gallery or museum may look slightly different than the ones shown on this page.
