Terence McGlade
Turbulence No 2 - large, narrative, corten steel, abstract outdoor sculpture

2021

About the Item

"My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and urban spaces. With influences as diverse as Brancusi and Buckminister Fuller, new synergies are crafted from simple and complex meanings. I have long been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corroded into a manifesto of power, leaving only a sense of dread and the possibility of a new synthesis. As temporal forms become frozen through boundaries, the viewer is left with a hymn to limits of our future."- Terrence McGlade This monumental outdoor sculpture is created out of corten steel. The iconic curls capture the essence of the earth as it rolls through the countryside.

The Portal: World We See - contemporary, geometric, abstract, steel sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This impressive circular architectural sculpture was created by Jeffrey Gillmor. An experienced metal artisan, this outdoor piece—a circle cut from a square is forged from etched steel and has a rust-coloured patina. Gillmor favours minimalist forms and finds inspiration for his work in nature’s colours, textures and shapes. World We See allows the viewer to not only see through the expansive ‘portal’ but walk through it as well. This is the largest of three similar sculptures in a series, each cut from the same four face plates of steel, producing another sculpture from the inside of the last. This piece is in an edition of 5 and is available on commission. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery upon completion. “The World we see and live in is much more complex than I feel it has to be, so we need to keep (everything) in perspective, keep basic positive values ... as we pass through the circle of life.” Jeff Gillmor...

Fiber Sculpture: 'IMAGINATION'
By Federica Patera and Andrea Sbra Pereg
Located in New York, NY
Image, Imagination, Imitation: we can think these three words come from the roots √Im, but it’s not true. It’s necessary to combine the proposition in with mi, that is, √Mei, to obtain this kind of words. √Mei recalls something that catch the attention, that is intermittent and that can change. For the three following artworks we decided to decline the root starting from the concepts of light and sound, using a set of different languages, such as English, Russian, Sanskrit, Latin, Avestan, Greek and Persian, and to create shapes...
