Illustrators, cartoonists and cinematographers portray modern robots as virtually indistinguishable from humans. The classic Bender from Futurama does not count, this is just the exception to the rule, which will be discussed today. American sculptor Gordon Bennet For many years now, he has been turning metal junk into sculptures in the spirit of nostalgic retro, depicting such classic robots. The sculptor's Brooklyn workshop is filled with details of future robots, and therefore resembles a branch of a city dump. By the way, it is there that Gordon Bennett and his family members collect the missing elements for creativity.
Each sculpture that comes out of the hands of the master is unique - he does not make two identical, and he would not do, since the same details come across extremely rarely, and the imagination forces you to experiment. Unlike toy robots, sculptures by Gordon Bennett do not move, do not move their limbs, do not turn their heads. But they don’t need it - they weren’t trained from the very beginning. Their task is to decorate contemporary art collections, both as part of art galleries and private collections. For one sculpture, the author takes one or two months.
By education, Gordon Bennett is an expert in design and advertising, but he found his calling in other art. Funny robots made of iron, wood and plastic are purchased for private collections by people living far outside the United States - in Japan, Austria, Holland, Great Britain and many other countries of Europe and Asia.

Transformers are back! Huge iron robots by Yang Junlin
While some artists break records of gullibility and come up with paper that looks like it can replace metal, others, in the truest sense of the word, are building their careers in a nearby junkyard.

Men with a metal frame: unusual sculptures by Rainer Lagemann
The author of unusual sculptures, Rainer Lagemann, like Pavel Kogan, did not like the oval since childhood, and this is probably why his metal people consist of hundreds of small squares. Despite such angular "atoms", the characters of the sculptor do not seem awkward or awkward. However, what is hidden under the rounded shapes? A rigid metal frame, without which not only a work of art, but also a human character will fall apart
