Great Welding Art by This Vietnamese-French Will Leave You Speechless

I simply can’t find the exact word to describe these welding arts by artist Mylinh Nguyen. Eloborate? Otherworldly? Incredible? Great? Just enjoy them yourself and let me know your thought…

Click here to have a look at some other cool looking welding arts.

Inspired by forms of living and extinct animals, artist, rather, modern-day wizard Mylinh Nguyen welds alien creatures out of bronze, brass and silver. She has utilized various machining techniques, and formed each creature after some weeks. They are originated first as unsystematic sketches in a notebook, and then evolve into permanent metal forms. Using metal, Nguyen manages to articulate even the most minute details of imaginary beings’ skeletons.

Let's enjoy them. (Photo credit is given to mylinh-nguyen.fr)

This Is How Vietnam Welders Transform Trash into Beast, Cyclo

Welders from Vietnam have unlashed their creativity to turn industrial scraps into elaborate welding arts. This is how they rock it!

Workers are fully equipped with tools for creating innovative welding arts.

Special welding tools are used when it comes to small welds that require high accuracy.

Industrial scraps like hoses, spark plugs, motorcycle plugs, etc. are collected from garages and scrap buyers. They are then cleaned, grinded and polished before being assembled and fabricated.

When all needed are in good shape, it’s welders’ turn to transform the scraps into beautiful arts. They are really artists when creating original, splendid items using their creativity, great care and nicety of detail.

It often takes 3-5 years for a welder to become proficient in welding small details. And it takes lots of steps to create an art work. 

To make a motorbike, workers need create lots of parts from scraps. The scraps are classified in ways that suit to each part of the vehicle. For example, the engine is made of 6 spark plugs; scrap bearings are used to make wheels; gas tanks are created from water valves. Also, iron bars are bent into appropriate shapes. 

The welded parts are then color plated and polished for finished products like these. They are well loved for their uniqueness and creativity.

Native butterflies. This is his most popular work. They are meticulously painted and shaped like specific species - Holly Blue and Red Admiral butterflies, etc.

Brown also creates lots of other welded creatures, including various insects, birds, horses, frogs, snakes,  many of which are inspired by such local fauna as the endangered Adder. While incredibly realistic, the sculptures still retain the weld marks as well as rusty discolorations as to celebrate their scrap origins.

There will be the second welded Singing Ringing Tree in the world

There are only two Singing Ringing Trees that exist in the world. One is Burnley's Singing Ringing Tree. The second will be in Austin, Texas, U.S.

Welding is not a job. It is an art:

This will be the first Ringing Singing Tree in the Western Hemisphere. Comprised of cascading pipes, this one-of-a-kind and historic art sculpture allows the wind to create such haunting and beautiful melodies.

The finished one will be installed in Austin, Texas within 6 months of its construction starting date in September 2015. Houston based JK Welding – Texas’s premier welding and metal fabricator has been tasked with building this strange, utterly amazing musical sculpture.  “We are thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking art project. It is not every day we get a chance to be part of history. The staff at JK Welding considers it a great honor to contribute its expertise to Austin’s public space,” said John King of JK Welding.

This Ringing Singing Tree is projected to stand about 17 feet tall and weighs 20 tons, being comprised of 22 levels of precision piping. This is a wind-powered musical sculpture resembling a tree set. It is strongly influenced by 2 like-designed arts in Britain and Saudi Arabia but designed by Royal Institute of British architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu. Its pipes of galvanized steel are welded together in concentric circles mimicking a tree bent because it is blown by the wind. When the wind whispers through those pipes, a melodious and haunting hum covering some octaves will usher out. Every time a guest rests underneath this incredible and inspiring music-based sculpture, they will get the chance to enjoy a different song.

You can enjoy one song Burnley's Ringing Singing Tree sings. (Alert: While some say it is beautiful, some think it sounds like the moaning of poor wandering souls in the depths of hell. Listen to it yourself and share your feeling).

King explains that steel pipes used to construct Austin's Singing Ringing Tree are fabricated from aesthetical qualities and toning. Particular narrow slits are added on the underside of the expertly placed pipes to create the desired sound.

Burnley's Singing Ringing Tree (England) has been recognized as one of globally friendly landmarks in the 21st century.  JK Welding hopes Austin’s sculpture will place the same impact on the Texan landscape.

Richard Lauth – a 23-year-old Chicago resident, is a welder artist and Local 150 ASIP Operating Engineer. He is such a talent for working with metal. Themed and abstract sculpture, decorations and models are his creative work. 

Forge welding first appeared from the Bronze Age, though Herodotus – the Greek historian states that Glaucus of Chios – an Greek sculptor in metal, “was the man who single-handedly invented iron welding” in the 5th century BCE. Along with scientific advances in early 19th century, arc welding was invented in 1881-82.
