Nimrod Messeg's sculpture "Iris" emerges as a testament to both artistic vision and the skilled hands of craftsmanship, brought to life in the enduring medium of iron. The sculpture features a women's figure with arms-like wings, evoking a sense of graceful movement and ethereal presence. Through Messeg's meticulous process, involving over a thousand individually shaped metal pieces through ancient forging techniques, welding, power hammering, and plasma torch work, the sculpture takes on a rich interplay of textures, effects, and forms. These techniques imbue the sculptures with a remarkable sense of individuality in both style and appearance. "Iris" captures a moment of transcendence and elegance, a tribute to Messeg's adept blend of tradition and contemporary artistic insight, inviting us to explore the beauty of the human form and the boundless expressions of artistic creation.
