Chris Bathgate

While images of my sculpture are available on Saatchi, please contact me directly if interested in starting a collection of my sculpture ()

Chris Bathgate is an American sculptor who constructs intricately machined metal sculptures in his machine shop of robotic tools and homemade equipment in Baltimore.

Bathgate has spent the last 15 years researching, designing, and building an extensive variety of metalworking tools and CNC machinery. He uses these tools to explore the interrelation between engineering and object making as it relates to art.

By appropriating tools and processes that were previously exclusive to industry, his work has become a prominent example of a genre that leverages technology, both old and new, to find expression in unique and compelling ways.
