Shayne Dark
Tilted Orange - contemporary, geometric abstract, coated steel outdoor sculpture

2020

About the Item

This contemporary orange-colored metal outdoor sculpture is the work of Shayne Dark. Five tapered shafts of steel emerge from the base in a powerful contemporary composition. The Canadian sculptor is known for using industrial materials to create organic forms that are often coated in bright colors—this piece in a punchy orange. Dark often finds inspiration for his evocative sculptures in the countryside that surrounds his home in Kingston, Ontario. “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 the artist-in-residence at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in 2016 after a successful residency at the Albright Knox and Buffalo Botanical Garden in 2015. Sculpture magazine featured an article on Dark’s work. At Art Basel, he was named one of the top ten artists to watch. Dark’s sculptures can be found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections.

Biomorphic Blue No 11 - smooth, pigmented Winterstone, abstract sculpture
By Jana Osterman
Located in Bloomfield, ON
The natural world inspires the beautiful organic forms of artist Jana Osterman. This deep blue patinated winterstone sculpture suggests the shape and movement of tree roots. It is polished with a protective wax giving it a light sheen. “Tree roots hold traces and impressions of where they held on but still suggest the smooth, and continuous movement, the flow of water."
