Mike Sohikian, a retired ironworker, has been a member of the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers Local 55 for 37 years. He has had a lifetime of love and appreciation for art, but did not begin his art career until 1995. Since then, he has garnered acclaim and numerous prestigious awards and recognition for his paintings and sculptures. Sohikian is best known for taking salvaged steel to new heights with impressive and innovative concepts. He assembles industrial materials as well as reworks the materials into fascinating forms.
This sculpture is the third and last of the sculptures by this artist. The others are Confessions and Pescados. When we select the sculptures, we do not know who the artist is; just that we like the sculpture.
Mike lives in Genoa, OH.
