  • Tiger Barefooted Welder Scrap Metal Art Sculpture Australia

Additional Information

Kali the Tiger by Michael Dudley. Kali was Barefooted Welder’s first big sculpture. Her name stands for the Indian goddess of destruction & transformation.

She was built using a style that was his own, as back then MickyD. wasn’t aware of the existence of a “metal art culture” as such.

“I didn’t know many metal art techniques… So Kali was built using pieces and parts welded to create the shape of a tiger. She is not skinned or pre-designed in any way”.

Built Nr. 1 from the artist’s large-sized sculptures, Year 2017 and took 56 days to make. Sculpted from 600kg tonne of scrap metal: retired metals from the sugar cane & farming, reused parts & treasures collected from throughout the Burdekin area, North Queensland.Kali will be finished with Penotrol, a metal laquer that gives long protection.

Before coming up with building a tiger, Barefooted Welder wrote a note: “If you want to aspire to be a great artist, create something great.” And Kali today is still the scrap metal art sculpture that has attracted the attention of thousands of people worldwide.​

Kali aims to share awareness of the declining population of the Bengal tigers.
