Since 1969, Ron Hagerty has been capturing the natural beauty of human nature in unusual surrealistic and whimsical ways. His handmade, one-of-a-kind creations are fabricated using oxygen and acetylene gas,
with a white-hot flame and copper coated
mild steel welding rods. It takes a lot of patience puddling the hot-liquid metal, fusing with a precise hand. Hagerty manipulates the metal with detailed welding techniques. The sculpted artistic expressive image are both refined and primitive
“The more you look into his images, the more you see. They are fantastic fantasies. They
are full of symbolism and metaphors that are incredibly detailed fetishes, especially for his materials and technique. They can powerful utilitarian art, and air loom keepsakes,
enduring art.”
- Douglas Taylor, gallery owner
