Eric Tardif
Éric Tardiff creates provocative and dynamic outdoor sculptures. The Quebec artist’s abstract work is designed to actively engage the viewer. “Playful while being contemplative, my work offers the viewer the opportunity to observe and react to the angle and the color of each component on its own terms.” Éric Tardif Native of Kamouraska, son of the Bas Saint-Laurent, it is by creating photo-graphic atmospheres at the limit of figuration and abstraction that Eric Tardif sought to translate the impression of wide-open spaces and horizons without end. Having initially chosen Natural Sciences as his first passion, he subsequently studied in the arts, including sculpture, to explore his talents. More and more, he decided to express his vision of things, and it was within the framework of his sculpture lessons that the idea of linking the dimension of movement and space was developed. Through his research and his discoveries on a technique of folding wood with steam, an avant-garde technique and not traditional in Quebec, he arrived at a singular mode of expression where the movement of his works seems to register in all lightness. He has received grants from CALQ and SODEC for several years. He has more than 100 exhibitions to his name around the world, and his work can be found in 10 galleries across North America.

There is a Block in the Void 1261 - Neutral Sculptural Painting on Canvas
By Len Klikunas
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Artist Len Klikunas creates meditative minimalist sculptural artworks that modify experienced reality through visual perception. His art is a mix of art and architecture, hovering between painting and sculpture, energy and matter. It employs shizen (自然): the Japanese concept of naturalness, absence of pretense, or artificiality. Material is stretched over a supporting three-dimensional framework, like a tent, and coated with paint allowing shadows and reflections to fill the spaces in between.
This sculptural three-dimensional 18-inches square and 5-inch deep post-minimalist artwork is wired and ready to hang. It is created with mixed media on canvas, stretched over a three-dimensional wooden form. The artist finishes the sides of this artwork as a continuation of the front and signs and titles the artwork on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable worldwide shipping for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Klikunas focuses on the larger idea behind his original abstract minimalist artworks. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity. The natural-like radiation that comes from the structure of the materials and color schemes expresses calmness. With a fusion of art and architecture, Klikunas presents compositions focused on abstract reliefs based on regularity and geometry that defy conventional perceptions. Through strategic placement and a rich color palette that also includes monochrome paintings, he creates three-dimensional structures that engage viewers in a captivating visual experience.
Len Klikunas' sculptural minimalist works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles. They have been included in numerous exhibitions at galleries and art fairs as well as private and public collections throughout the world.
