About the Item
This is a wonderful example of Shayne Dark's dance with form and light. The work is created out of Ironwood, and is painted a flat white. On a light colored wall, the shadows become an integral part of the work, adding another dimension.
Since he began his artistic career in the mid 1980’s, Dark has participated in exhibitions throughout Ontario and Quebec, and in the United States, notably at the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC. Many public galleries have exhibited his work – the Masur Museum of Art in LA, the MacLachlin Museum (Ontario), the Glenbow Museum (Calgary), the Art Gallery of Peterborough and Musée des Beaux‐arts de Sherbrooke.
In 2014, Dark was declared one of the top ten artists not to be missed at the Miami art fair, and in 2016 he will be the artist in residence at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in New York City.
His large scale public sculptures are landmarks in Canadian cities such as Calgary and Toronto. In 2017, he will be installing a significant public commission in California.
He has also exhibited in Spain and Greece. He has won numerous grants and awards, and has completed a number of major public commissions in cities across Canada. One of his sculptures is now in the Canadian Embassy in Prague. A documentary on Dark’s life and work, entitled “Artist in the Round: Shayne Dark”, premiered on the Discovery Channel HD Theatre on April 25, 2004 across the United States.

Shayne Dark
Poised between abstraction and representation, the artworks of Canadian artist Shayne Dark (b. 1952, Moose Jaw, SK) are often coated in eye-popping saturated pigments. His networks of steel branches or steel stones, indoor and outdoor iterations, are a contemplative intersection of the industrial and the organic. In 2016, Dark exhibited at the Brooklyn Sculpture Center, where he was artist in residence. The same year, he was given a solo exhibition at the Albright Knox, NY. Dark has received six Ontario Arts Council grants and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. His work may be found in numerous private, corporate and public collections including Queen’s University, the Canadian Embassy in Prague, the City of Ottawa, the Federal Communications Commission, New York.

Ice Nebula 3 - polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture is by artist Alexander Caldwell. Caldwell’s modern minimalist sculptures have been recognized for their masterful execution and flawless form and color. The Calgary-based artist’s work is often influenced by both nature and science. Ice Nebula is one of a series of pieces inspired by the extraordinary images of space sent to Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope.
This tabletop sculpture consists of several stainless steel spheres of different sizes welded together to form a tower-like shape, mounted on a wooden base. Caldwell’s signature paint finish—layers of glossy paint mask the seams of each component so they appear cohesive. The distinctive iridescent paint of Nebula changes color from blue-green to light purple in different light conditions. A nebula is a cloud of gas or dust in outer space.
“… The color that transforms the industrial origins of my materials has become so important to the simpler shapes of my new work that it’s as if the metal has become an armature for the paint. “ Alexander Caldwell

Artist Commentary:
As a continuation of the screens series, I experimented with adding air between layers to show the organic process and the play with not only reflected light from behind, but also shadow. (Photo files include one angled shot, and one closeup.)
