About the Item
This contemporary wall sculpture is a series of three masks forged from metal.
Dale Dunning is highly regarded for his superb craftsmanship in creating sculptures of exceptional quality and detail. The Canadian artist is perhaps best known for his inspired use of the human head/face as a metaphor for human experience. This series of three masks (a triptych) are made from narrow strips of aluminum that have been skillfully shaped to resemble the contours of a face.
The industrial-inspired wrapped faces also reflect a romantic sensibility recalling the Gothic literature of Mary Shelley or the historical novels of Alexandre Dumas.
“The thing I like about the head is it sort of encompasses what we are. We live in our heads…I use the head as a container to suggest what’s percolating underneath.” Dale Dunning
“Dale Dunning is an exceptionally versatile artist. He has mastered techniques in bronze, aluminum, steel, and glass over four decades of relentless creativity.”

Dale Dunning
Dale Dunning holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Mt. Allison University, NB, he studied under Lawren P. Harris. This academic training is reflected in Dunning’s approach to his work. Early on, he decided to focus on the human head and the mask. Inspired by the Gothic and Classical periods of “Grotesque” art, his work often reflects a romantic sensibility. His sculptures may recall the Gothic literature of Mary Shelley or historical novels of Alexandre Dumas. "The head is universally recognized, easy to identify with. We live in our heads, see, feel, and experience the world in our head. It serves as the foundation upon which I can develop various paths to explore." ~ Dale Dunning Dunning explores a variety of materials – bronze and aluminum casting, welded screws and wrenches, typeset, cable – all in the interest of creating the form. In 2012, Dunning’s work was chosen to illustrate an entire volume of Dacritics, a journal of linguistic criticism published by Johns Hopkins University Press. Dunning has exhibited across Canada and his work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Robert McLaughlin Gallery, McIntosh Gallery at Western University, Carleton University Art Collection, and the National Library of Canada.
