This is a custom Granite and Steel Desk that I was commissioned to make by La'Brett Interiors for Steve and Joann Lynch. It was made from 3" x 3" steel tubing and 4" flat bar. There are two wooden drawers with steels fronts which make's the piece high functioning without adding undesired detail. This is definitely one of finer pieces I had the pleasure of creating

This Coat Rack was custom made for Cathrine Baker. I used the three leg design because of the stability it provides without the need for adjustable legs and because it was the best shape for the area where it stands. The stone at the bottom was placed to serve two purposes, one as a counter weight in order to create more stability and two, as a shelf for shoes. As you can see Cathrine was very happy and excited to use this new highly funtional piece of art.

My resent thoughts about many of the pieces available at the Gallery
Look deep into this piece and let the colors, shapes, and textures come out and be absorbed by all the senses. Allow them to penetrate your soul deep within and translate its meaning into thoughts of inspiration and joy you never thought a human being was capable of experiencing. When you have reached the peak of consciousness and then returned to the lush valley that awaits you below. You will have experienced the unique and glorious effect available at THE BRAD METCALF GALLERY

More Gallery Info
I opened the gallery in August of 2008 as a venue for my artwork and as a location to showcase other local artists. I first moved into the building in March of 2005 as a shop location in which to run my steel fabrication company Prima Metal Works. I started Prima Metal Works in June of 2000 as a metal fabrication shop that has evolved into a high-end custom furniture company. The building started out as a basic metal shop and then the need for a showroom prompted me to transform the small unfriendly second floor into a large high functioning Gallery space where I have hosted many art and entertainment events. At the same time a had a great desire to be a part in helping to transform the once depressed looking neighborhood into a place for artists and artisans to gather, network and make a difference in the community. I am constantly working on communicating to my audience that anything can change with vision, perseverance, devotion to beauty, and countless hours of hard work. I like to use this modo in everything that I do. I believe anything and anyone can be transformed into something of beauty and greatness. The design of the Gallery comes from the knowledge I have gained working with many of the top designers in the industry and from the industrial nature of the building itself. The Gallery was intended to be a work of art on its own. This is because much of art has to do with contrast and the beauty held inside the building is in stark contrast with the warehouse look of the exterior. Everyone who enters the Gallery space is surprised by what the building holds. It is a sight that people don't expect and when the experience takes over, each person has an emotional reaction of some degree that they will not forget, and that experience to me is art.

Everyone has a certain amount of pain in their life. This piece was designed and made to express pain felt by anyone of the human race, as well as to help alleviate pain by bringing a majesty into the life of the viewer yet only for a moment. It is meant to be functional to all who visit the piece. By sitting in this chair i hope to bring peace and comfort to help distance one self from negative energy and bring them into a positive realm in which we all wish and strive to live.
