About the Item

This contemporary metal wall sculpture inspired by nature was made by Shayne Dark. This is Shayne Dark’s Reflections of Nature Series. These jewel-like tondos in stainless steel and copper have detailed inlays that resemble the interior rings of trees. (The number of rings in a tree determines its age and what the climate was like during each year of the tree’s life.) Each tondo has a unique pattern that Dark cuts into the steel. The entire surface is then sprayed with molten copper which creates a shimmering inlay. The whole sculpture is then polished back to a mirror finish which reflects light and its surroundings. “Sculpture has allowed me to convey my thoughts and ideas through a visual and tactile medium.” Shayne Dark “Dark seeks to reveal the inner beauty of the things around us with the aim of fostering a direct contemplation of the world, without the mediation of the artistic sphere. In this sense, his approach is part of a renewal of our ways of undoing and inhabiting places.” Katie Chagnon, Art Historian and Curator Shayne Dark was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2018, Dark has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. In 2017, Dark had a solo exhibition and an artist residency at New York’s Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The same year, he had 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 worldwide.
