Recycling Challenge Unique Recycled Auto Part Chess Set

Armando Ramirez

(662)

The imaginative mind of Armando Ramirez transforms scrap metal into a sleek, black and silver chess set. Ramirez collects the leftover metal pieces off a die machine and shapes them into the pawns, horses, and parts of the kings, which also feature cogs from a car's electrical system. The queens are made from screws, auto part cogs and bearings. The bishops are shaped from spark plugs and the towers from cogwheels. The board is made from a metal sheet and features ornate iron wires and bendix caps taken from a car.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present. The finish can vary from matte to shiny, as each chess set is a unique piece of handcrafted art.

Rustic Catrina I Handcrafted Scrap Metal Catrina Statuette

Armando Ramirez

(662)

Parading grandly with her picture hat, purse and parasol, Catrina steals the show. Armando Ramirez creates the iconic figurine from recycled auto parts and scrap metal.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

Armando Ramirez

(662)

This remarkable contemporary sculpture is from Armando Ramirez in Mexico, who recycles auto parts and metal scrap to create unique works of art. A shapely female torso is created from scraps of sheet metal. A timing chain forms a sort of g-string bikini bottom, and the artist adds metal "fig leaves" to the front in a witty nod to classical sculpture.

Rustic Film Projector Collectible Recycled Metal Movie Theater Sculpture

Armando Ramirez

(662)

Armando Ramírez revisits the golden age of film with this classic film projector, built from various auto parts and pieces of scrap metal. Spark plugs, a pulley from a toy train engine, and the chain and wheel of a motorcycle begin to shape the projector. Several auto parts complete it, such as the ignition wheel of a car, the foot and diaphragm of the clutch pedal, and a bearing from the electrical system.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

Rustic Truck Cab Recycled Metal Rustic Long Haul Truck Sculpture from Mexico

Armando Ramirez

(662)

Wonderfully realistic, a semi truck comes to life as Armando Ramírez recycles castoff cycle parts and discarded bits of metal. Sheet metal becomes the sturdy bumper and production chains, the grille. A refrigerator motor provides the cab, while timing chains and a motorcycle traction piece become seats. Wire, screws and die-cut scraps all ingeniously fulfill distinct roles.

Ramírez does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
