By Vika https://pictolic.com/article/i-created-these-unique-sculptures-from-scrap-metal-and-found-objects.htmlHello, I am Artūras, an artist from Lithuania who creates sculptures and assemblages from scrap metal.
For my creations, I use items that no one needs or their fragments, which can be found in scrap metal shops or flea markets. Thanks to my imagination, they take on a new form, as if reincarnated, transformed, and become a new body already in artistic expression. I feel a kind of relief when I bring something with its history already condemned to destruction to a new life. I always try to create a character that carries a positive emotional charge and a sense of surprise.

10 PHOTOS
1. Playboy Rabbit
The sculpture is for adults. It is not a toy or a game object. This sculpture meets all the criteria necessary for love games. At first glance, the sculpture does not promise anything suspicious, but it is very deceptive. It’s a bunny with a hiding place inside. It can hold a wide variety of tools for love games. The inside is covered with velour. Specially sewn ruby-colored insert. It provides aesthetics and comfort. There is a switch in the bunny’s head that turns on his eyes. They pulsate pink light thanks to programmed microchemistry. This is a great and non-standard solution for those who do not lack fantasy in the field of love. This is your fantasy rabbit.

4. Musical Fish
This is the second fish I’ve used parts of a musical instrument to make, so it’s like a music-loving or musical fish. The base is dominated by copper, but there are also details made of brass and stainless steel. All parts are interconnected with screws.

6. Ship Captain
I assembled the sculpture from various found objects. The main detail that determined the theme of this sculpture was a bronze propeller that I bought at a flea market. Then I looked for details to make an octopus. Main parts: lamp cover, bronze vase, set of flexible metal hoses with magnetic tips, which are used in car repair. Since the sculpture is assembled from various metals, it was necessary to give it a general shade. I used spray paint, acrylic, and varnish, giving it a hint of green patina. The sculpture depicts the remains of a long-sunken ship, which is guarded by an octopus. This is his home, now he is the captain of the ship.

7. T-Rex
T-rex became the subject I took up. Two identical parts of a motorcycle that I found in a junkyard dictated the idea of creating a tyrannosaurus. I have wanted to make a dinosaur sculpture for a long time. And I managed to embody everyone’s favorite T-rex. It took me about two months to create the sculpture. I didn’t use welding, so I had to think carefully about how to connect the body parts. I took the longest time making the tail and head. One of the motorcycle parts I used to create the tyrannosaurus head was chipped. But I used it as an advantage to give the dinosaur more aggression. But still, he’s more likable than scary.
8. Helicopter(Dragonfly)
Personally, a dragonfly reminds me of a helicopter. I created this sculpture guided by that thought. I have mentioned before that I like unexpected solutions. It was the same this time. I even made a helicopter landing pad. I think this solution will surprise you and give you a dose of good humor.

10. Toad(Family)
I create sculptures and assemblages from metal. I make stuff from found objects. My toad is made of, a JAWA ”motorcycle fuel tank, shock absorbers, front legs made of , Harley Davidson” motorcycle brakes and clutch handles, and the hind legs are the aluminum oars of the boat. Glass bubbles are medical cups placed on the back when you have pneumonia. Eyes are also made of them. Some parts are welded, others are riveted and bolted together. The body is painted with aerosol paint followed by acrylic. Finally covered with glossy varnish. The toad looks like it has come out of the water. She is heavy and weighs 16kg.
