About the Item
Metal contemporary wall sculpture in a mask form. The Canadian sculptor Dale Dunning often uses recycled metals—this human-shaped head is fabricated from the centers of laser-cut brushed aluminum pieces salvaged from another sculpture. Dunning’s masterful work often revolves around universal themes such as the human desire to ‘pull meaning from apparent chaos’.
His favored form, a faceless head, becomes a metaphor for all humankind. The form is enhanced by the ‘scattering’ of light that naturally reflects off the metal surface.
“The title “Scattering” is a nod to a cosmological term, “the surface of last scattering” which refers to the furthest extent of the observable universe.” - 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.” - Sanjeev Sivarulrasa, Curator of Sivarulrasa Gallery
Dunning holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Mt. Allison University, Dunning studied under Lawren P. Harris (son of Group of Seven member Lawren S. Harris) and George Tiessen. Dunning has exhibited across Canada and his work is held in private, corporate, and public collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, the McIntosh Gallery at Western University, the Carleton University Art Collection, and the National Library of Canada.

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.

Cumulus VI Revisited - figurative, contemporary, stainless steel sculpture
By Ania Biczysko
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This contemporary outdoor sculpture is forged from stainless steel to resemble clouds.
In this elegant sculpture by Ania Biczysko, fine ribbons of stainless steel overlap in circles forming a cloud-like structure mounted on a tripod stand. When viewed from all sides, the sky is reflected in the luminescent quality of the highly polished steel.
"Clouds for me represent reaching out for hopes and dreams. They appear in ever-changing shapes and light however elusive and untouchable, we find them present in our everyday lives. Like our dreams, they guide us to something bigger and allude to an idea of pure beauty." Ania Biczysko
