P. Roch Smith
Daily Grind - Patinated bronze cups stacked on a male figure

2020

About the Item

A tower of cups stacked face to face and end to end create a beautifully undulating formal column reminiscent of Brancusi's Endless Column. Precariously balanced on the shoulders of a small bronze figure, the leagues of cups invite one to contemplate notions of consumption, modern life, and drive. Smith received a BFA (Honours Sculpture) from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 1997 and an MFA from York University in 2003. A teacher as well as an artist, he has taught classes at the University of Waterloo, ECIAD and York University. He currently manages and operates the bronze and aluminum foundry at York University. Smith has exhibited throughout Canada and in the US and his work is included in private, corporate and museum collections in British Columbia, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York.

  • "Little Mermaid" contemporary bronze table sculpture figurative girl thinking
    Located in Kowloon, Hong Kong
    Little Mermaid is a bronze table sculpture, it is connected to a steel base. The edition size is 8. Joan’s latest sculpture series of female figures brings an out-of-the-box approach to sculpture creation. The small vivid women figures linked or bonded to their pedestals; the figures are delicate and intriguing representation of a woman’s mind and soul yearning for liberty, freedom, a moment of tranquility from busy daily life, or a space that she could spend the time totally with herself and for escaping from the routine and monotony. The woman made of bronze is warm and sensual and dances in/on a structure of rusted iron. She observes the world from her/ours solitude, from this vertiginous watchtower (metaphor of life, universe) rusted because the inexorable time.
