Algerian Blacksmith Uses Scrap Metal in Contemporary Art

In the Algerian city of Setif, a horse statue in gold and black stands on a base in the workshop of Algerian Artist Walid Tribeche. A thorough look at the statue helps reveal a weird secret…this amazing artwork is completely made of nuts, nails, and scrap metal, according to Reuters.

After two decades of working as a blacksmith, Tribeche transformed his workshop into an atelier where he can express his artistic ideas with a magical touch. The former blacksmith uses scrap metal disposed of by car maintenance workshops, recycles them, and uses them as contemporary art tools to make various forms of art pieces.
