tropical metal wall art

One of the unique forms of the globally popular Haitian art is the Haitian tropical metal wall art. This innovative art form is created by recycling steel oil drums into unique metal sculptures. Haitian steel drum art was born in the early 1950s when a simple blacksmith, Georges Liautaud, in his small workshop started creating primitive metal crosses for the graves in Croix-des-Bouquets cemetery. An American teacher, DeWitt Peters opened the Le Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince and encouraged Georges Liautaud to expand his art to creating metal sculptures. A few talented craftsmen joined him and soon the tradition followed.

This is one of the most innovative concepts of eco-friendly arts are largely used for decorative purposes. These recycled wall metal sculptures are commonly used as wall hangings, both indoors and outdoors. For maintenance, an extra layer of polyurethane varnish might be required each year, specially if the art is used outdoors.
