From the wide range of materials to make art out of, wire would probably not be the one to come to mind first. It turns out, however, that in the right hands, this minimalist material can come to life in numerous ways. You may have heard of Alexander Calder or Ruth Asawa, both prominent artists who developed the medium of wire sculpture throughout the 20th century.
Today, however, we want to share with you the works of several contemporary artists, who create stunning wire sculptures. From life-sized animals to minimalistic, yet expressive, human silhouettes, take a look at this impressive gallery.
