Jeff Gillmor
The Portal: World We See - contemporary, geometric, abstract, steel sculpture

2024

About the Item

This impressive circular architectural sculpture was created by Jeffrey Gillmor. An experienced metal artisan, this outdoor piece—a circle cut from a square is forged from etched steel and has a rust-coloured patina. Gillmor favours minimalist forms and finds inspiration for his work in nature’s colours, textures and shapes. World We See allows the viewer to not only see through the expansive ‘portal’ but walk through it as well. This is the largest of three similar sculptures in a series, each cut from the same four face plates of steel, producing another sculpture from the inside of the last. This piece is in an edition of 5 and is available on commission. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery upon completion. “The World we see and live in is much more complex than I feel it has to be, so we need to keep (everything) in perspective, keep basic positive values ... as we pass through the circle of life.” Jeff Gillmor Born in Belleville, Ontario, Gillmor grew up surrounded by contemporary art and was encouraged to explore his creativity. He attended Waterloo University for Economics and worked in the metal shop, where he became interested in artworks. Self-employed for 35 years, he has his own company that creates a custom line of artisan mid-century outdoor cabinetry and outdoor living amenities for landscape architects. Gillmor belongs to the Art Bank Collective in Clarksburg, Ontario, and now also creates outdoor sculptures.
