About the Item

Richard Tosczak creates life size paintings and sketches of his models which he then recreates in bronze. This large scale canvas reflects speed, gesture and the effect of capturing the moment. See Richard Tosczak's, Sculpture of the same name to see which sculpture this painting inspired. A former student of philosophy and modernist steel sculpture, Belgian-born (1966), Canadian resident Richard Tosczak explores the human form through bronze castings. In his current practice he uses quick pen and ink figure studies as source material for sculptures and larger works on canvas. Reflecting the rigorous formalism of his early training, sculptures are modeled exclusively from a single drawing. Tosczak’s figurative sculptures are in public collections in Alberta, Canada and Barcelona, Spain. He has exhibited in Canada, Brazil, Spain and France. Richard Tosczak was the only Canadian selected for the 2013 Figurativa exhibition in Barcelona.

Citation - black, white, abstracted figurative, brushed ink on paper
By Andrew Lui
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Brushed ink in grey and black leads the eye up the picture plane in this 55-inch tall painting on paper. The intense movement suggestive of rearing horses in this painterly work is in keeping with Lui's theme of pilgrimage in which he explores the idea of "self-inflicted happiness" as a deliberate response to the melancholy and complexity of life. This painting is floated and framed. Framed Size: 60 × 35 inches Born in Guangzhou, China, Lui participated in the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a member of the Red Guard 1968-70 and then escaped to Hong Kong by swimming. Making his way to Toronto he studied at the Ontario College of Art and became a citizen in the late 1970s. He continued studies in the UK, and Italy where he was drawn to the dynamic Uccello's Battle of San Romano...

Off the Leash - black & white, minimalist, figurative abstract, ink on paper
By Lynne Fernie
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Three black brushstrokes representing ground and rapid dashes of black, drizzled and brushed form the profile of a dog, his leash flying upwards in this work on paper. Off leash parks in Toronto where dogs run free, are places of joy for pets and their owners. The essence of this abandon is depicted with humorous affection by Fernie, a masterful story-teller. Framed size is 50 x 36 inches. Lynne Fernie is a Toronto artist...
