BIOGRAPHY
Christopher David Hynes attended Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida where he first experimented with scrap metal in a course led by fine artist and professor John Williams. “The Process I use to create my sculptures begins in the local junkyard. Sometimes the pieces are sketched out in advance with a preconceived notion as to what the final sculpture will become.”
My latest works have recently been revolving around critically endangered species and constitute a mixed media approach to the design that reflects a fragility to the subject matter. These sculptures juxtapose the organic to inorganic by transitioning the form from the perfection of nature to the brutality of man-made metal. Hynes is one of the pioneers of the emerging scrap metal art form.
Christopher’s award winning sculptures have earned him international recognition, and he has several collectors worldwide.
