The Tall Men Series
A series of tall sculptures by Gilbert McCann: Metal Artist
THE CHIROPRACTOR
The first piece I created in this series is ‘THE CHIROPRACTOR.” One of the biggest supporters of my work is Robert Goeckel, D.C. Once during a visit he said he’d really like to own a piece of my work. So I decide that I would create for him a sculpture of himself at work. This piece shows Dr. Bob doing what he is so good at, helping to heal his patients’ bodies.

SELF PORTRAIT
My “SELF PORTRAIT” depicts me when I am at my happiest. Over the years I have worked many jobs. And that is just what they were JOBS. Awhile back I was working at my business, Thumper’s Custom Motorcycles and Hot Rods. I was very restless and bored with my life. I decided to go back to college and improve myself as a means to once again be able to enjoy what I was doing. I got a catalog from a local community college and was looking through it. I turned the page and saw a course in Art Welding. I decided to try this out and suddenly I was renewed. While taking this course I became convinced that I had the right skills. I was just using them in the wrong way. Gilbert McCann, welder became Gilbert McCann, Metal Artist.
While doing one of my sculptures for my Tall Men series, that I was going to call “The Welder”, I realized I was creating a piece that essentally was me creating another piece for my series. It was then that “SELF PORTRAIT” was born.
