“I love the strength of the iron, and the fact that you can take an “unbreakable” natural element and carve it into an amazing decorative item truly blows my mind time and time again,” said Liberman, who studied realistic sketching at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv. “I also love iron more than other metals because, in my opinion, it showcases tremendous power and elegance that you cannot find in other materials – not even wood.”
Although Liberman came from Israel, one of his most influential metalworkers is Cyril Colnik, a Milwaukeean blacksmith whose iron work is admired throughout the Cream City. The 19th century blacksmith almost exclusively used iron in his creations, including when he won an award at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago for his work called “Masterpiece.”
Some of Liberman’s masterpieces take from 90-120 days to complete, but any wait is certainly worth it. Visit Iron Creations to view some of Gonen Liberman’s custom iron art railings, balconies, gates and other home accents at his website, http://www.ironcreationsusa.com or his studio at 2201 Unit 3 West Bender Road in Milwaukee.
