About the Item
Shayne Dark has elevated the natural beauty of applewood burls by creating unique contemporary sculptures. The Canadian artist collected gnarled burls from old orchards in Prince Edward County, stripped the bark and allowed them to dry for several years. While repairing the cracks in the dried burls, Dark was reminded of the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery--Kintsugi. This philosophy views breakage and repair as part of the history of an object. Dark decided to leave most of the raw beauty of the apple wood exposed except for accenting the natural cracks in bright yellow. The burl is polished to a glossy sheen. This is the second series of Windfall sculptures.
“Dark's art is part of a desire to reconnect with his immediate universe, finding his primordial impulse in nature.” Katrie Chagnon, art historian and curator
“In his world, nature-and sculpture- is not a benign force. These works exude as much psychological charge as they do visual potency and aesthetic resonance.” David Liss, Director Emeritus MOCCA
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.

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.
