Interview with Chris O’Rourke | Part 2 – Business Side of Metal Sculpting

By on • ( 1 Comment )
Three metal sculptures by Chris O’Rourke: a copper-colored coil, a blue serpentine form and a silver column with an orange sphere.

As a longtime car and motorcycle enthusiast, Chris O’Rourke’s journey from metal fabricator to sculpture artist is a shining example of how materials typically reserved for mechanical applications are equally suited to art when in the right hands. In this two-part series, WAN has the pleasure of interviewing a unique artist whose pursuit of perfection has resulted in his work being highly valuated in the art world.
