Mike Hansel

Mike Hansel is a Rhode Island sculptor whose large-scale welded metal works explore the overlap between industrial forms and organic life. Working in Corten steel, stainless steel, and silicon bronze, he creates pieces that begin in mechanical geometry and end somewhere closer to coral and bone. Hansel holds an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and a BFA from the University of Cincinnati. His public sculptures are held in collections including the Newport Art Museum and deCordova Sculpture Park.
