While the world around us echoes our modern-day customs, working
with metal using age-old traditions still plays an important role
in the world of art. Creating each beautifully intricate piece
from common cut steel nails, Ron Schmidt’s creations are
a reflection of his unrivaled artistic vision.
The Michigan native
has been an innovator in the field of dimensional art since
the 1960’s, but it wasn’t until late in that decade
that he began working with metals and a welding torch. The result
was the creation of abstract sculptures that have graced the
walls of countless homes, businesses and of exclusive art galleries
all around the country.
Ron Schmidt’s
work utilizes such a unique combination of artistic design,
geometric form and high quality braze, that it has earned him
the well-deserved title of “The King of the Nail Sculptors”
amongst his peers. Rising above the label of just decorative
art, his sculptures are individually created and unique, since
no molds are used.
No
matter which piece you choose, it will be completely one
of a kind. Each wall hanging utilizes brazing alloys such
as nickel silver and silicone bronze to transform a simple
collection of common cut steel nails into a beautiful work
of art. The pieces then undergo a finely tuned finishing
process where they are masterfully glass-bead blasted, wire
brushed and coated with protective sealant for a maintenance
free finish. The result is a testament to the craftsmanship
through which each piece is created.
Many pieces are
available with multiple hanging hooks, which means you can hang
them horizontally, vertically, and even diagonally to suit your
décor. Ron Schmidt pieces are lightweight enough that
you can easily hang one in your favorite room, without even
needing to locate a stud on the wall!
Each
piece can be customized with a powder coating allowing it
to withstand the elements, should the perfect place for
your “Ron Originals” sculpture be outside. Available
in any combination of brass, copper or steel, in various
sizes and even in groupings, “Ron Originals”
designs are the perfect addition to any décor!! When
you’re looking to add a touch of class, elegance and
artistic flare to your home, office or any space that needs
it, you can never go wrong with a Ron Schmidt original.
