"A Vintage Look For a Modern Age." - Andy Nortnik

 

Metal Sculptor and Found Art Artist Andy Nortnik became interested in sculpturing at an early age. Industrial Designs of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s fascinated him. Vintage science fiction illustrations and images from such Victorian books as Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and classic movies such as Metropolis also intrigued him. Little did he realize that later in life his love of these two art forms was to be combined and reflected in his unique sculpture design style that some refer to as Steampunk or Retro Futuristic. Andy combines salvaged materials such as pipes, valves and fittings and meticulously sculpts them into beautiful works of Industrial Art including Custom Reading Lamps, Desk Lamps, Floor Lamps, Clothing Racks, and Retail Display Stands for such items as Jewelry and ties into what he refers to as "A Vintage Look For a Modern Age." Other applications for Andy's Sculptures include Hollywood Special Effects and Lighting for Horror Movie Sets and Halloween Haunted House Props. In his spare time Andy enjoys crafting illustrations and clip art with the look and feel of classic eras gone by. Andy lives and works from his studio at 9,500 feet elevation in the beautiful mountains of Bailey Colorado.
