About the Item
The stunning contemporary monumental sculptures of Mike Hansel have been exhibited and admired in public venues throughout the United States. The American artist has spent more than thirty years as a visual arts educator while pursuing his own artistic practice.
The fluid form of this powerful piece, its arched tubular shape forged from stainless steel, was influenced by the dynamic presence of the ocean near Hansel’s home in Rhode Island. He credits the exposure to the ‘beaches, boats and fishing industry’ and an appreciation for the ‘weightless, buoyant quality of marine life’ as inspiration for his own artistic vision. Hansel’s distinctive work juxtaposes organic form with industrial materials in new and unexpected ways. The artist makes no attempt to hide the method of fabricating this piece as the welded seams are clearly visible. The steel is highly polished to produce a reflective quality that mirrors the surrounding landscape.
“The title, "reflection" suggests a dual meaning. While the physical aspect of stainless steel provides a lively surface that reflects light, the abstract form presents a thought-provoking fusion of contradicting attributes. Dynamic qualities such as soft/hard, lively/static, organic/mechanical, are ideas that the viewer is invited to reflect upon.” Mike Hansel
Mike Hansel obtained a Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio and completed his Master’s in Fine Art at the University of Pennsylvania. He owns his own sculpture and metal furnishings business in Rhode Island, U.S.A. and teaches design and sculpture at numerous schools in the area.
He has participated in dozens of exhibitions and completed many public art installations in the U.S.

Geyser - tall, contemporary, abstract, stainless steel, outdoor, sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Quebec sculptor Bernard Hamel often looks to nature as a source of inspiration for his contemporary sculptures. Geyser emulates the fluid form of a spout of water erupting from the ground and shooting skyward. Forged from fine individual rods of stainless steel, this elegant and dynamic shape suggests turbulent motion. Geysers are a rare natural phenomenon. Hamel prefers to work in a variety of materials including wood and metals, often incorporating the sculpture into a natural environment.
“My sculptural approach is essentially based on a direct relationship with the material….The material directs my gestures, determines my choices and the tools allow me, with their singularity, to model these shapes. Memories meet material to transform into a sculptural form with organic lines.” Bernard Hamel
Bernard Hamel was born in Quebec and lives and works in St. Roch des Aulnaies. He completed a bachelor’s degree in visual arts at UQAM with a focus on sculpture. To perfect his knowledge of wood he completed a course in cabinetmaking at the Institut québécois d’ébénisterie, in Quebec.
In 2005, he took a woodturning course with Jean-François Escoulen and André Martel, two internationally renowned turners. Since 1999, Hamel has taught sculpture at the Maison des Métiers d’Art de Québec. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Quebec and participated in international symposia including the Camille Claudel Sculpture...

Bewitched - tall, modern, abstract, contemporary, aluminum outdoor sculpture
By Stephane Langlois
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Two organic shapes rise from the ground and reach for the sky in this finely crafted aluminum sculpture by Stephane Langlois. The abstract forms evoke the idea of two humans engaged in a dance, perhaps two birds, moving in response to one another. These sculptures are lively in the sunlight, moody in the evening light. They work well in sunny climates, and are also outstanding against the winter snow and light.
Individual dimensions: pictured here, the left piece is 91 x 20 x 18 inches. The right piece is 91 x 19 x 21 inches.
Stephane Langlois completed a bachelor's degree in psychology, in 2002, and a D.E.C in sculpture at the Maison des métiers d'art in Quebec City...
