South Dakota sculptor John Lopez creates spectacular sculptures made of old farm equipment. His scrap creations reflect the legends and images of his prairie land.

One of Lopez’s latest creations is the « French Buffalo ». This life-size American Bison made with more than 100 pieces of recycled material, is the artist’s first work to be exhibited permanently in France, in the Parc animalier de Sainte Croix.

You are an excellent, amazingly creative artist.
One of my favorite things is to visit art gallery’s or
anywhere where artists gather. What the human mind can
visualize and create continues to take my breath away.
What you have done in these photos is beyond anything I’ve seen yet. Thank You
