About the Item
Canadian sculptor Viktor Mitic looked to the stars for inspiration in creating this striking contemporary sculpture. The elegant and ethereal abstract form of Cygnus A is intended to represent the ‘swan-like’ shape of a star pattern found in the northern skies. In Latinized Greek, ‘Cygnus’ means swan. Mitic initially made a prototype of this sculpture from recycled car parts and other materials. A 3D scan of the prototype became the template for this bronze piece that has an attractive blue, green and black patina.
“The sculpture is a representation of the celestial beauty and wonder that we find in the night sky. It embodies a sense of movement and fluidity, capturing the essence of the Cygnus constellation's dynamic presence. I wanted to create a work that combines elements of nature and the cosmos, inviting viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of the universe.” Viktor Mitic
Viktor Mitic was born in Serbia, emigrated to Canada and earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 with studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired paintings, prints and colourful abstract sculptures at numerous international venues, notable among them Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo, The Armory Show in NYC, Art Chicago and Toronto. His work is held in corporate, private, and public collections.

Viktor Mitic
Painter Viktor Mitic is best known for his use of firearms as an artistic tool. Depictions of celebrities and historical figures riddled with bullet holes provocatively reflect on the senselessness of gun violence.
Mitic was born in Belgrade, then part of Yugoslavia and now the capital of Serbia. While in compulsory military service, Mitic came to see the gun as a potential medium for his art. He later moved to Canada, where he graduated with his BFA in 1995 from the University of Toronto. That year, he completed a portrait of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, which he presented in a formal unveiling at the prime minister’s office in Ottawa.
Mitic’s fame grew in 2008 after he displayed his most controversial piece, Hole Jesus, at Trias Gallery in Toronto. It drew widespread media attention. Over the following years, he made more works featuring images of well-known people, shot up with a .22 caliber pistol.
Mitic has participated in exhibitions around the world, including a 2008 show at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo. In 2010, he presented his acclaimed Art or War collection at Gallery Moos in Toronto.
Although he has produced art in other media — including sculptures — his bullet hole paintings remain in demand with collectors. Mitic continues to create art that intrigues and confounds critics and viewers.
