Sculptor Simi Dabah
has been building Welded Steel Sculptures from industrial scrap for more than 30 years. He is a prolific artist who has worked in diverse media, but creating steel sculptures is his passion and primary mode of artistic expression. Simi’s sculptures range in size from 6 inches to 32 feet in height, many weighing over a ton. The steel surfaces are left in their natural unfinished state and allowed to continue rusting to a warm patina. These norepresentational sculptures are left untitlted, inviting the viewer to interpret the work.
