CREATURE SCULPTURES BY TAL AVITZUR

FOUND OBJECT ASSEMBLAGE ART

The sci-fi, fantasy-inspired creatures on this page were created using vintage power tools, vacuum cleaners, scientific equipment, auto parts, bike parts, boat parts, kitchenware and many objects that I have no idea of their original purposes. See if you can figure out the components that make up each piece.

Though some of the creatures below have found homes, many are still available. If you have any questions or if you are interested in purchasing, feel free to let me know.
