Abundant Nature Wall ArtPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 8002270

SKU# 8002270

Garden abundance adorns your wall. Artisans ingeniously cut and decorate steel drums as a uniquely Haitian art form. An artistic tradition has grown from this type of ironwork, which began in a small village. This piece is individually crafted by cut-metal artisan Sadrole Louigene, in the village of Croix des Bouquets.

To create pieces such as this wall hanging, Haitian cut metal artisans cut open 55-gallon drums, hammer them flat, and then mark designs on the black metal with chalk. Using a hammer and chisel, they pound and cut through the metal to make designs. Intricate painting adds to the striking design. Among Haiti’s most original art forms, this type of ironwork began in Croix des Bouquets, a small village outside Port-au-Prince.
