Meet metal sculptor David Rivas when the Museum of Ventura County holds a reception for the artist on Saturday, November 6 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the museum’s Sculpture Gallery. His current exhibition Transformed: Titanium Sculpture by David Rivas, continues there through December 5.

Pprofessional welding skills have become artistic tools for Rivas, as he recycles scrap titanium left from the manufacture of hypersonic spacecraft, into sculptures of motion and whimsy.

As both a photographer and sculptor, Rivas’ work has also been exhibited at locations including the Carnegie Art Museum and the Museum of Ventura County, and featured three times on the cover of the acclaimed Art/Life Limited Edition Publications. The City of Ventura Public Art Commission selected three Rivas photographs for use in their street banners.
