Man constructs ‘Transformers’ art in backyard

[yuiyoshida]

A fan of the Transformers movie series, 43 year-old Liang Nai-yuan has unwittingly created a park in Nantou County’s Puli Township that not only draws fans of the movies and practitioners of metal sculpting and allows them to interact with each other, but is also a shining example of what can be achieved by recycling.

Liang, who works as a landscape artist and a designer, said the park was started five years ago based on a promise he made to his son to give him a special birthday gift. He used parts from old cars to make a 4m tall sculpture of the transformer Optimus Prime in his backyard.

Liang said he had always dabbled in metal sculpting as a hobby and had even considered holding an individual exhibition in 1999, but he abandoned the idea after the 921 Earthquake that struck Taiwan that year.
