Buckingham’s sculptural works, created exclusively with found metal, feature a dynamic mix of color and shape, reimagine text and are inspired by pop culture. Buckingham roams the windblown alleys, abandoned factories, gritty industrial areas, dodgy neighborhoods, and low deserts of Southern California in search of the cast away, the discarded, the forgotten. These battered relics are muscled into works of art with a bewildering array of power tools and sheer force of will. All colors are original as found.

David Buckingham lives and works in Los Angeles, California, and is a sculptor working exclusively in found metal. All colors are original as found; no works are painted. He roams the high and low deserts of California in search of battered and beaten agriculture equipment, trucks, school buses, looking for metal that has had a previous life, with the scars to prove it, much like himself.

Buckingham finds inspiration in American pop culture, filtered through his “own admittedly skewed perspective”. He worked as an advertising writer for 20 years, so pieces incorporate text work, wordplay, movie references, slang, and more. Like metal, words are malleable; bending and reshaping them can give them a completely different meaning.
