Statement

Rock Iron Art, is the syntheses of a life long love affair that sculptor Albert Belleveau has had with two of northern Minnesota’s most plentiful resources. He use's rocks and metal in sculptural form to depict humorous life forms, unique functional furniture and decorating accouterments.
The wind and wave softened stones are collected by the artist during his frequent kayaking trips on Lake Superior and are sculpted at his Puposky studio. The rocks are selected according to size and color then thrust into cherry red cages of steel, formed and tightened under enormous pressure then welded to depict the sculptural needs.
The finished sculpture is sandblasted to even the surfaces and sealed with two coats of lacquer.
Albert Belleveau started working with metal in his fathers fabrication shop at the age of five he continues to depict the world he experiences in metal and other natural substances. He has created large scale sculpture and ornamental structural iron projects for both public and private commissions. His smaller works have traveled the world.
He resides in Maple Ridge township of northern Minnesota with plenty of rocks and iron
