Kendall Polster shapes and welds found metal pieces forming primitive figures and animals that contrast serious insight with whimsical play. The artist's recycled metal sculptures range from delightful table-top objects to over-sized objects which make pop-like statements. Leaving behind a career in biology, Polster is a self-taught artist who has made a name for himself creating metal works for bar and restaurant interiors including the new Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, WI and the Blackwolf Run golf course in Kohler, WI.
