Malen Pierson
3D Mixed Media
The multi-talented Malen Pierson can best be described as a folk artist, a collector of found objects, and a true innovator when it comes to the integration of old tools, farm equipment, antiquities and all forms of metal. Malen is among the lucky few who have the creative vision to see what discarded items can become. He skillfully practices the art of fusion – combining rare and abandoned metals, tools, and recycled materials into highly desirable art forms.
Malen’s artistic success is due to his truly unique welding and assemblage process. His style incorporates a dense composition of various metals and found objects into full-sized horses, moose, goats, buffalo, herons, and other animal sculptures.
An artist for 33 years, Malen has sold hundreds of pieces of his work, many of which are now housed in local, national, and international private collections, including those of Robert Redford, Martha Stewart, Queen Latifah and Johnny Depp. Malen Pierson’s work can be found in many galleries across the country.
Malen creates each one-of-a-kind sculpture by himself. He hand cuts, welds and assembles old tools, each art sculpture has an energy of expression.
