Works of art made of titanium welded

[Sergey-K]

I present to you the work of the Kiev titanium welder Dmitry Kushniruk. At one time they became a sensation in art exhibitions in Kiev, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, several U.S. cities.

Technology artistic welding of titanium - innovative. It appeared at the dawn of the space age 70 years of the last century at the Institute of Electric Welding. EO Paton, which now operates Dima Kushniruk.

In the picture below: Dmitry Kushniruk and Borys Paton.

In 2007, at the Moscow exhibition WeldEx, Dmitry took part in the contest "The best welder in the nomination of argon arc welding" and ranked № 1 by running a competition two times faster than all other participants.

Many of the works of masters are now in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, USA, Japan, Britain, France, Finland, Germany, Canada ... They speak Ukrainian policies, measures and ministers, as well as president of the British Welding Society.

Creating titanium sculptures - a very time-consuming and tedious process. A mistake is not corrected. 'll Have to simply throw out everything and start over. Can not fix a broken seam by any means! This is not something that the iron - and heated up in the new Let's hammer tapping ... pee titanium sculptures are impossible. Only argon welding can tame this metal.

Each work of Dmitry made from start to finish with absolutely no margin for error. And in order to achieve a product of certain colors, you need to "feel" the metal, to know what color it should be in a heated state, and what will come of it color when the metal cools.

But this is not the main thing! The feeling of volume and proportion. The ability to catch and pass the dynamics at work. Show plasticity inherent in this or other creations of nature! That's something that just combats the spot, when you learn how to make these techniques work.

Here are some of the author:

In the manufacture of large products, such as shown above, the author takes up to a year of work! The seam for seam welded titanium it to the end of completing the product.

What do you think about this style of art?

Sergey-K, very interesting!
In my friend's house is a small job ... supposedly from the institute said Paton, I attached no particular significance. And now I understand what this thing is and who is the author. Thanks ...
And what is the average cost of a small работки?

[SAH]

I like very much. What on what? What is the price?

[Sergey-K]

vyadem, SAH
Prices start at $ 400 and reach $ 100 000 for some work.

Several times the men appeared who wanted to buy the entire collection at once.
But some started before the transaction dramatically underbid, and others simply covered the crisis.
So, while the remaining three dozen works are from the author.

Found a photo of work, which was a gift Ukrainian minister - anglers:

Quite possibly. Little works like lizards, flies, spiders, ants - it was a few pieces. Large same product - unique.

[Yaya]

Sergey-K, is possible. but in our country for the Minister to receive a gift figurine made of titanium, pardon the expression, beneath one's dignity. I would not envy such a giver

Do not scare people with the words such as "welder"! This - not a welder! This man is worthy to be called a jeweler, sculptor or artist. Working exclusively individual, not a factory. If it would be used for noble metal, so a good promotion - Hurst rest!

If you are really talking about the sculpture, then in her material is not important. There are wooden masterpieces.
