Rocco Turino
Parallax Series - Occluder - large, minimalist, powder coated steel sculpture

2023

About the Item

Reminiscent of the angles and form found in origami, this intriguing sculpture stands tall against the sky. This is Rocco Turino. Working from his own foundry in London, England, Turino cuts, welds and shapes metal into compelling abstracted sculptures. Turino was inspired by the enigmatic work of the famous Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti. This contemporary piece is created from aluminum—three tall flat panels of metal with ‘folded’ edges joined at the top…painted in bright white with accents in sky blue and bright green. “Working this way (making objects through improvisation) can really surprise you and challenge how you execute the finished work.” Rocco Turino Born in Italy, Turino grew up in Ontario. He graduated from OCAD’s sculpture/Installation program before moving to Montreal to complete an MFA at Concordia University in the mid 90’s. There he received a McConnell Fellowship that enabled him to attend Glasgow of Art for a semester as an exchange student. He returned to the UK in 2000 and established his own foundry and business in London where he has continued to live and work. Turino has exhibited in Canada and the UK and completed commissions for residences in Mallorca, London, Toronto and Los Angeles.

  • Biomorphic Blue No 11 - smooth, pigmented Winterstone, abstract sculpture
    By Jana Osterman
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    The natural world inspires the beautiful organic forms of artist Jana Osterman. This deep blue patinated winterstone sculpture suggests the shape and movement of tree roots. It is polished with a protective wax giving it a light sheen. “Tree roots hold traces and impressions of where they held on but still suggest the smooth, and continuous movement, the flow of water." Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County...
