Although not widely used in it's pure form we know today until the 19th and early 20th century Aluminum type metal has been used for artworks since early on. For example in the tomb of Zhou Zhu around the 3rd century AD archeologists discovered ornaments that consisted of 85% aluminum. Pliny the Elder, a famous Roman scientist, mentions 1st century artists using aluminum and presenting a cup to Tiberius. The first industrial aluminum was invented in Rouen, France in 1856. Karl Joseph Bayer in 1889 used Alumina that became the basic raw material for future aluminum production. Many modern artists such as Claes Oldenburg and Duane Hanson have used aluminum in their sculptural works. This medium is perfect for sculptors because of the material being extra light, easy to weld and shape without rusting into sculptures.

Artists Describing Their Art:
James Johnson - The basis of my work is the exploration of universal patterns of being common to everyone such as shadow, hero, or trickster. My interest in patterns of being is a fascination that we all share common behaviors or emotions that can be understood singularly. Each pattern of being may be expressed as a figurative sculpture of hand cast aluminum alloy at half-life scale. Patterns of being may be referenced with Jungian archetypes. My hope is to make patterns of being more visible and tangible...Nikolaus Weiler - I am living and working as a freelance sculptor in Berlin since 1992.
