I saw two Harley Davidson chrome fenders at a scrapyard. The rear fender was really wide and immediately reminded me of a catfish’s open mouth. I was already creating a catfish sculpture in my head. My vision didn’t fail me – it came out graceful and, of course, big… It’s a catfish as old as I am, so it’s no surprise that its vision is a little weak,[...]
I saw two Harley Davidson chrome fenders at a scrapyard. The rear fender was really wide and immediately reminded me of a catfish’s open mouth. I was already creating a catfish sculpture in my head. My vision didn’t fail me – it came out graceful and, of course, big… It’s a catfish as old as I am, so it’s no surprise that its vision is a little weak, especially in the right eye…

Artūras Tamašauskas is a "Steampunk" Lithuanian sculptor. His sculptures are exceptional, each unique and distinctive. Tamašauskas describes his sculptures as concrete, clear and at the same time asking them to look for what is invisible to the eye and to think about them. They are like living interior elements.

Tamašauskas is using the most diverse materials for work starting from wares, antiquarians and ending with rubbish that is useless. He is transforming an item that was thrown and useless, giving it the opportunity to exist in a new shape, in a new form, new existence in artistic expression. Steampunk style lovers from Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, USA and Australia have some of his works in their private collections.

Artūras Tamašauskas was born in 1963, in Lithuania, and he has exhibited his works all across the country.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
