It doesn’t matter how much we love the look, feel and texture that natural fibres give our homes, there’s something about metal art that we can’t get enough of.

So, what is it about metal art that we love so much? Perhaps it’s that sense of permanence. Metal art is not going to break. Sure, it might need a dust once in a while, but don’t all ornaments?

If you’re looking to add a little something special to your home, metal art is where it’s at, whether it’s made from copper or aluminium.

Ready to get inspired? Here are 22 dazzling examples of beautiful metal art ideas that make for great artistic features or wonderful gifts that you and your family can enjoy.

If you’re looking for an easy art project, why not get inspired by one of the ideas below? Once you’ve tried metal prints, there’s no going back!

Nature

The wonder of nature is that it’s largely ephemeral. Yet the wonder of metal is that it’s long-lasting. Combining the two is a perfect way to freeze nature in a certain moment so that we can look upon it time after time.

Of course, metalworkers and artisans have no intention of replacing the natural world with metal. Instead, the art featured below is a celebration of nature – a way we can honour its beauty (without having to water it!).

Lustrous

One of the most appealing things about metal is its brilliant sheen. The finish of the material reflects light at different angles. Metal artwork can truly shine under strategically placed lighting, as each angle reflects a different intensity of light.

The surface of the metal art appeals to the eye. Then, simply add a splash of saturated colour to the metal and you transform what would otherwise be a matt finish into something exceptional.

“Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.” – George Bernard Shaw

Fancy something with pizazz? Metal can give you exactly that. The range of exquisite aluminium art available is extraordinary and, more importantly, unique. The talent around the globe shows just how popular this art form is. It can be something as simple as a few twisted words or something as complex as formed metal encased with coloured paper.

Want something funkier and more long-lasting than our standard canvas material? Invest in one of our aluminium split photo wall displays. You can choose art images from our gallery featuring millions of designs or upload your own photos. Our metal art prints not only look impressive, but the quality is so robust it can withstand heat and humidity.
