About the Item
Ben McLeod (b. 1948, Aberdeen, Scotland) is a preeminent Canadian sculptor whose over five-decade practice is characterized by a profoundly self-propelled trajectory and the cultivation of a unique, potent visual language. Born in Scotland and raised in Vancouver, McLeod’s artistic path began in the 1970s, evolving into a masterful engagement with industrial materials.
McLeod’s work relentlessly interrogates themes of resilience, the relentless passage of time, and the dynamic interplay between structure and movement. He transforms heavy-duty industrial and farming components, primarily steel sourced from Alberta scrap yards, into commanding brutalist sculptures. His aesthetic embraces raw honesty—jagged edges, rich oxidized surfaces—yet is always imbued with a profound sense of harmony. These abstract forms often evoke figures or machinery through the viewer’s perception of balance, and are engineered for comprehensive 360-degree viewing, dynamically shifting from every vantage point. This highly developed three-dimensional acuity extends to his extensive drawing practice, a vital element in his relentless iteration and refinement of concepts.
Situated on an expansive acreage in the Alberta foothills, McLeod’s land functions as both crucible and muse. Here, monumental sculptures, some weighing over a tonne, are organically integrated into the landscape, fostering a poetic dialogue between nature and industry. His creative process, deeply intuitive, allows the material itself to guide the work's completion. McLeod's sculptures are a testament to patience, unwavering precision, and an acute responsiveness to material, informed by the expansive landscapes that define his existence. His work is included in numerous significant permanent collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank.
This is a rare marble sculpture by McLeod from his collection.
