Rod Mireau
Sailing Arcs - tall, modern, contemporary, abstract, wood, fibreglass, sculpture

2022

About the Item

The grace of white sails billowing on the horizon. This is the sophisticated and contemporary vision that Rod Mireau’s’ Sailing Arcs’ sculpture captures. The Peterborough based artist is known for his superb woodworking techniques—both traditional and modern. This piece –two ‘sails’ facing one another are sculpted from fibreglass and lined with laminated plywood that sit on a white stand. The natural wood pattern and rich golden colour of the wood contrasts beautifully with the bright white of both ‘sails.’ “I have begun to introduce new materials including metals, plastics and paint. While wood continues to be central in my work, this use of a more diverse range of materials allows me to explore new sculptural possibilities and opens up my work to a broader dialogue.” Rod Mireau Born in Saskatchewan (1971) Mireau studied sculpture at Ontario College of Art and Design (1993 – 1997). He has exhibited in New York and across Ontario with a 2018 solo exhibition at The Art Gallery of Peterborough. Mireau received an Ontario Arts Grant in 2006 and the Award of Excellence at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in 2008. He creates commissioned work for both public and commercial spaces. Mireau’s work is held in private and corporate collections in Canada, the USA, Germany and the United Arab Emirates.

  • Extraordinary + Fun, Red and Aqua Acrylic Wreath Drop Earrings by Nikki Couppee
    Located in Morgan Hill, CA
    Red and Aqua Wreath Drop Earrings are made from acrylic gemstones set in brass frames with sterling silver and fine silver ear components. Each ‘stone’ is hand cut, sanded, and polished to resemble her own version of gemstones that sparkle with holographic material. By utilizing multiple gauges of acrylic and brass these earrings are large, but lightweight and easy to wear. About the Artist: Nikki Couppee is originally from Pensacola Beach, Florida and currently resides in Oakland, California. She holds an MFA in Jewelry/ Metals from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio and a BFA in Jewelry/ Metals from the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. Her work examines the connection between adornment and social status. Using non-traditional materials such as acrylic, brass, holographic foil, and found objects, Couppee creates jewelry that appears opulent. By utilizing time-intensive processes, she further references the language of fine jewelry, with the intention of elevating the work. Using everyday materials, she is able to exaggerate the size and abundance of gems to parody class issues inherent in fine jewelry. Couppee's work has been featured in many publications including American Craft, Allure Australia, Marie Claire Australia, Metalsmith Magazine, Modern Magazine, Vogue Brazil, Daily Candy and Lark Book's 500 Enameled Objects. She exhibits her work globally through exhibitions, gallery representation, fairs and recent runway collaborations for Paris' Fashion Week and Australian Fashion Week with designers Romance was Born.
