Pedersen Metal Design | Ryan & James Pedersen
BIO
The Pedersen’s have created various sculptures ranging from small wall reliefs, table designs, functional work, and large outdoor public sculptures, to very large commercial/private fabrications. They have exhibited their work throughout the MidWest region as well as several areas in Arizona participating in various competitions, exhibitions, and public displays.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Sculptors James and Ryan Pedersen are a father/son collaborative team who create welded constructions in relief and free standing form. The combinations of steel, brass, and copper are used in most designs. The earthy colors and textures are achieved through welding, cutting, grinding and heat-treating these materials. The finished artwork illustrates their combined passion for the outdoor environment as an artistic selection of these elements with a stylized approach that is related to various interpretations of the modern landscape.
