Matthew Leavell is a self-taught Mobjack, Virginia, sculptor currently focusing on fabricated metal sculpture. He is known for his imaginative and whimsical pieces often featuring an array of vibrant blended colors. Matthew has exhibited his work in a dozen US states, and his work can be found in municipal, corporate, and private collections. Matthew's work is often created using recycled, salvaged, and upcycled raw materials which bring their own unique history and character to a piece. He sees an abandoned or discarded piece of rusting steel as a literal representation of a broken or abandoned dream, project, or relationship. Salvaging such materials and through hard work, inspiration, creativity, and persistence creating an entirely new and beautiful work of art, is not only a personally fulfilling process, but one that stands as an analogy of the nature of life in general.
