DEVEREN FARLEY – LINDON, UT
“Off to Work”
Metal
12’ X 24’ X 8’
$65,000
I love using welding to offer viewers a fresh perspective on a common object, and creating new meanings for everyday items such as silverware and old tools. Through the language of art, I am able to communicate my passion for found art to diverse audiences and inspire others to take an interest in this distinctive genre of art. My sculptures invite people to release their preconceived definitions of the artifacts of life, and look at the world around them in alternative ways. Through my art, I take my thoughts and bring them to life.
Family Tree
Inquire about this piece
My sculptures are made from old tools, recycled metal, and scraps of metal because I embrace the idea of simple living and conserving and recycling our resources. These elements make my sculptures one-of-a-kind, and are ideal for every age group. ¨Family Tree” features a family of birds perched out for a day in the sun. It is whimsical enough to grab the attention of all ages that seek out the family and their unique differences. I find a lot of joy in providing communities with artwork that can offer such a feeling of wonder.
Meet the Artist
Deveren B. Farley was born in Stanford, CA. Shortly after high school, he moved to Utah and started a railing business with some home decor work on the side. In his spare time, he started to create fine art by recycling discarded and scrap metal. Everything Deveren creates is custom done, and no two pieces are alike.
I was born on a unique day — February 29, 1984 – and raised in California, where I developed a love for the art of sculpting metal. I flipped down my first welding helmet in 1998 and have been at it ever since. As an artist, I strive to take what others imagine and bring it to life for them, by creating a piece that is as unique and beautiful as the idea itself. My wife and I and our children happily make our home in Orem, Utah.

Dad
This dragon creature is sitting with his hands on his belly, sleeping. His scales are crafted from license plates, and his wings – made from street signs – glow when light hits them. I named the sculpture “Dad” to honor my father, who passed away this past year; this piece was created in memory of him. My dad had a love for dragons, which helped me grow my love for art. When I was 14, I got into welding, and the first few sculptures I ever made were dragons.
