Iconic Scrap Metal Animal Sculptures by John Lopez

Artist John Lopez uniquely created these life sized scrap metal animal sculptures based in the town of Lemmon, South Dakota. The 43 year old artist who welds the pieces from abandoned farm machinery created full size representations of creatures including a bison, a cowboy, a horse plowing a field and a Texas Longhorn cattle. John has been working on the past ten years, already had a career as a bronze sculptor, but after creating a family grave for his deceased aunt using scrap metal, he began creating recycled metal sculptures out of found or donated pieces of metal as well.
