Story
Celebrate a milestone with a metal sculpture portrait.
While this may look like a painting on first glance, a closer look shows dozens and dozens of pieces of salvaged metal, carefully layered to create a near lifelike portrait, commissioned by a client for a milestone birthday. Beginning with a series of photographs, Dolan sketched a concept for the client to approve (ensuring the design captured joy,
musicianship and warmth), then proceeded with drawing, cutting and collaging in metal. Each detail was carefully considered, including the specific mandolin, the pink-red tones in the shirt, and the unique wedding band. Celebrate a milestone with a truly one-of-a-kind metal sculpture portrait of your loved one.
