Thomas Markusen

As a premiere, fine-craft artist in the USA, Thomas Roy Markusen is dedicated to the excellence of American metal-smithing. During the last four decades, he has established himself using copper, brass, bronze, silver, and aluminum in diversified forms and concepts. He creates the numerous colors and rich patinas in his work by applying acid-based solutions on the copper, as well as using heat in varying duration. His large wall collages, furniture, and architectural work continue to give collectors the opportunity to select dramatic, vibrant and metallic focal points for their home or office.

For the various patterned incisions, which can be seen throughout Markusen's 700 Series, he uses a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter is a type of cutting torch which employs an electrically neutral, highly ionized gas, composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. Using the plasma cutter allows the artist to draw by cutting very fine designs in the metal.
