“Artists Brent Lawrence & Luke Lawrence are second and third generation metal sculptors from Oregon. Brent Lawrence is the main designer and creator of the art form. Lawrence was interested in primitive art and carefully studied the simplicity of line and natural textures and colors found in nature and in prehistoric art. Experimenting with the patina process, he discovered the secret of applying patina on stainless steel. The development of the techniques of metal fabrication and patina evolved into this stimulating and exciting art form. Brent is also leaving a legacy with the development of a method by which stone-like textures and wildlife images merge on stainless steel. Along with capturing the ancient feel and emotion of the shamanistic images, Brent uses various chemicals, techniques, and equipment to recreate the fragile cave wall on a modern surface.”

“While creating these pieces I often reflect upon the cave dwellers of 30,000 years ago and try to capture the urgency of the images, the spiritual fascination, and the majesty of the wildlife that is depicted in my work.” ~ Brent Lawrence
