David Mach
David Mach is a Scottish sculptor he is also an installation artist. Mach's artistic style is based on flowing assemblages of mass-produced objects. These include magazines, vicious teddy bears, newspapers, car tyres, match sticks and coat hangers.
Here are two sculptures of David Mach:
Sculpture 1: Gorilla
Materials used: -He has used wire hangers in his pieces of art. Mach first creates a plastic base of the figure he then wraps in coat hangers. Hundreds of basic hangers are welded together and then the plastic base is removed, leaving the hanger sculpture ready for silver nickel plating.
Scale: - the scale of the work is very big. The sculptures he designs are enormous.
Location:- King Silver, the silver-back stood frozen in time beating his chest while towering over viewers at the entrance of the recent V&A exhibition ‘Power of Making‘.
Inspiration:- Mach has enormous passion, energy and a refreshingly modest approach to his work. He was inspired by looking at gorillas and how they always amazed him.
Sculpture 2: Tiger
Materials Used: David Mach has used wire hanger to create this tiger. He creates a base of the figure and then he wraps in hundreds of coat hangers. Hangers are welded together so that the plastic base is removed, leaving the hanger sculpture ready for plating.
Scale:-David Mach makes and designs sculptures which are a very a large scale and they are gigantic.
Location: - The Tiger Sculpture is on display at Opera Gallery in Geneva in Switzerland.
Inspiration:- His comment about his own work, ‘The figure of Christ is in pain and anguish pierced by thousands of spears, that single body acting as a conduit for all the cares and the woes’, confirms that it is Christ, but symbolised in a humanitarian way.
