Joe Taranto ‘Dancing Tulips’ 3M (H) x 2M (W) Growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, Joe first developed his love for steel whilst tinkering in the family steel fabrication business from the early age of 12. Joe’s passion for steel has grown over the years and developed it into the beautiful work he creates today. Thousands of hours he’s spent learning his craft and perfecting it to a fine art. Everything he does is unique and created with love and dedication. Joe is very passionate about using only 100% Australian made Corten Steel. Corten is made of a combination of steel, nickel and copper and is perfect for sculpture and metal art as it doesn’t corrode like mild steel normally would. The end result displays a gorgeous rust patina that is unique to each piece. Joe’s ever evolving artwork also uses other materials such as, Perspex, Stainless Steel, Wood and custom blown glass.
