Brian Walters II

Self-taught Connecticut-based sculptor Brian Walters II creates abstract metal sculptures using raw, reclaimed steel. Brian Walters’ work is comprised of salvaged material sourced locally. Every bit and piece that he collects in his journeys throughout Connecticut has a story to tell. From a flywheel out of a Chevy truck to a piece of rebar that once held a sidewalk together, there is something unique to each individual piece used in his work. Walters highlights the rust, peeling paint, gouges and other defects in the material that have been acquired by years of service to society. His aim as a sculptor is to showcase not only the material being used but the story behind it.
