Wire is an extraordinarily capable sculptural material - it can at once represent the airy weightlessness of a strand of hair or the taught power of a rigid muscle or rope. It's no surprise, then, that so many sculptors find it to be indispensable for their work.

Owing to the ease with which they can be manipulated, wires can be used to make anything from delicate jewelry to home decorative pieces to large structural pieces. The artists in this list all use wire as their main material for their amazing sculptures, which are perfect examples of just how widely applicable this material is.

We'd like to invite artists from all over the world to share their own pictures of incredible wire art as well. Don’t forget to vote for your favorites, too!

It's almost funny, the way that you montaged so many pictures into what seems like a jumble of wires at first.

Absolutely stunning. The level of skill, talent and creativity held within your brain is definitely something to envy. The Golden Pegasus lives in my head rent free. I've never even attempted to sculpt anything from wire but I'm thinking maybe you've inspired me to at least try! Should I start small or just go all in? Go big or go home is my usual course of action when the odds aren't in my favor lol I've experienced a lot of failures but...a lot of success as well. Edison failed 1000 times but because of his dedication, hope and stubbornness...he created the lightbulb on his 1000th try....or so I've heard. How long did it take you to learn to sculpt a fantastic sculpture?
