Haitian Art - An outstanding collection of Haitian metal wall decor
Haiti Cheri presents a beautiful selection of Haitian steel drum metal sculpture wall hangings. Each of these outstanding metal designs have been hand cut from a flattened 55 gallon steel oil drum. The fine details within the designs are worked with a hammer and chisel by a very talented Haitian metal artist. This is not a machine or lazier cut metal art piece, but 100 % hand work.

Below are photos of a small sampling of the handcrafted Haitian art that is offered in Haitian oil drum wall scuptures.
~~~~~~~~~~ Recycled 55 gallon steel oil drums form the “canvas” for the creation of these amazing works of Haitian art. To begin, the drums have the tops and bottoms removed, using a hammer and chisel. These ends are used for smaller metal art sculptures. The drum is then stuffed with dried sugar cane or banana leaves and lit on fire to burn off any residue. When cool, it is flattened into a 34” x 72” metal work area. The design is now drawn on to the metal sheet with chalk. The artist proceeds to cut and hammer, with a nail and chisel, the design onto the steel drum “metal canvas”. All of the details of the piece are sculpted into a beautiful Haitian art wall hanging. It is then coated with a clear finish to add warmth and luster to the artistic design and to prevent rusting. Haitian steel drum metal art will be a real conversation piece in your home.
