What can you do with rusty old shovels and chains and grill racks and...?Charlie Lucas (The Tin Man) made a work of folk art called "Holding the Energy." Here it's on display at a recent Arts Revive show downtown. The Tin Man's work as a "scrap metal recycler" has gained him international fame. His art has been exhibited in France, New York City and New Orleans. He's taught art classes at Yale, and his story and works have appeared in more than 40 books.

Does this piece of art reside in your home?
Hi Denton, No, it's not at my home. This art is at an art show.
Thanks for visiting!
I like this! Its a good use of srap metal :)
This is great. I can't imagine how someone can look at a pile of junk and turn it into a work of art. Wonderful work and great picture.
this is what recycling and art is all about, using your imagination. Creative artwork,photographed lovingly.

We love folk and outsider art, too. That is a great piece, and it was interesting to hear about the artist.
