Jeff Mann is an artist who works in a unique medium: car parts. Mann takes apart cars, collects the parts, and reassembles them into sculptures. The artist finds beauty and complexity in the components that make up automobiles, although he has disdain for the complete cars themselves.

Mann's latest exhibit, Car Repair, is on display at the Belmont Gallery of Art in Belmont, Massachusetts from June 20th through 29th. Mann hopes that his works will both be aesthetically pleasing and spark a dialog about transportation choices. Says Mann, "I am not simply using any found objects; I use car parts because I believe the car is the largely invisible shaper of our world, the subliminal cultural informer and the frankensteinian monster that may eventually cause our destruction."
