Artist Replete presents Leo Marinus by artist Chris Hynes. This sculpture began at Junkyard, when artist stumbled on a valve body for a hydraulic control unit and felt it would be perfect starting point for his next piece.
" Inspired by the intricate beauty of the Lionfish, I decided to create a sculpture of this stunning creature using the metal parts I had collected. The jagged edges and organic shapes of the valve control unit lent themselves perfectly to capturing the essence of the Lionfish's spiky fins and graceful movement through the water.
The process of transforming discarded objects into a work of art is incredibly rewarding, and I am thrilled with the final result. All of my sculptures serve as a reminder of the beauty that can be found in unexpected places, and I hope it will inspire others to see the potential in the world around them. The title of this piece is “Leo Marinus” meaning “Lion of the Sea.”
Over the past 12 years the work of artist Chris Hynes has been internationally exhibited and collected. Each piece the artists creates combines the brutality of manmade metal and the perfection of nature. Using metal from scrap yards and molding it with clay, the artist is able to breathe life into his creations. Often times the found parts will spark an idea and guide the interpretation.
