Abstract welded metal sculpture with  a letter Chai. Handcrafted art piece in Gary Rosenthal style is made from a combination of different metals. The primary materials are steel, copper or brass, which have been heat-treated or patinated to achieve their distinct colors. 
The abstract form and use of welded metals suggest a modern or brutalist style, popularised in the mid-to-late 20th century.
The heat applied during creation produces vibrant, iridescent colors ranging from pinks and purples to gold and dark bronze tones.
The components are forged, welded, and hand-torched, indicating it is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation by an artist rather than a mass-produced item.
