- MATERIAL | ALUMINUM 2024 and 6061 sheet, plate and tube material | STAINLESS STEEL sheet and wrought material | BRONZE, BRASS & COPPER delicate metals
- SIGNATURE GRIND PATTERNS | i personally hand-deliver all of my nicholas yust signature grind patterns and artistic designs to the metal such that each sculpture is unique. i apply heavy to light decorative grinds, depending on the sculpture, in many layers and directions to utilize the reflection of light.
- COLORING | sculptures are colored by an atomized acrylic spray process which i personally developed. this technique results in a vibrant, stunning color portrayal that you find on advanced modern metal art, while allowing my signature grind patterns to show through the pigment with the same clarity and reflection of light found in my natural metal artwork. the color is under-laid with a transparent protective primer base coat.
- CUTTING | professional grade cutting equipment such as nibblers, shears and CNC laser/plasma cutters are used to make precise intricate curves and general linear cuts. what this means: sculptures can be ordered in virtually any size to meet the specifications of your custom order.
- POLISHING | i carefully prepare each free standing sculpture for grinding, painting and clear coating to ensure a quality look and pristine finish.
- FINISHING | a UV resistant indoor/outdoor clear coat is overlaid on color and pure metal to provide environmental protection against corrosion and add brilliant reflection to the sculpture. this protective coating is the same finish used on Lexus automobiles, allowing me to confidently guarantee the finish and metallic shine of your sculpture.
- AUTHENTICATION | before it is shipped to you, i sign and date all of my artwork for authenticity
{ INDOOR & OUTDOOR } modern metal free standing sculptures
- all free standing art is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. i hand select material alloys for all of my artwork to ensure environmental friendliness and robustness. stainless steel and copper artwork is treated with additional layers of clear coat for premium protection. please let me know if you intend to place your free standing sculpture outdoors, and if your climate renders any custom needs. for example, in locations that will experience high winds i would suggest reinforcing the base mounting and for areas near salt water i will apply extra layers of the protective clear coat. NOTE: my artwork is commonly featured in adverse weather locations such as beach-front properties. my education and experience as a metallurgical and materials science engineer has allowed me the knowledge to understand the effects of elemental wear and tear on my sculptures and create suitable prevention techniques so that you can enjoy your artwork anywhere!
