Nicholas Crombach
Old Bitch 2/8 - figurative, life-like, female cow, bronze, interior sculpture

2015

About the Item

This figurative, life-like, female cow, bronze, interior sculpture is by Canadian artist Nicholas Crombach. The Kingston-based artist creates artwork using traditional skills of representation from a variety of mediums including bronze and resin. Old Bitch is masterfully rendered in highly realistic detail; its bowed posture appears to mimic a dog at play. The effect is both humorous and serious. Crombach’s thought-provoking work is often focused on humans’ complex relationships with animals—a natural theme for the young boy who grew up in the country. Edition two of eight. “My work investigates the relevance of morals about our relationship with animals. Producing an inquiry into human nature, the animals that I have used to visually depict derive from my experiences and upbringing on a dairy farm.” Nicholas Crombach Nicholas Crombach was born in Toronto (1989). He is a graduate of OCAD’s Sculpture and Installation program. He has received many grants and awards and was the 2016-17 artist in residence at The Florence Trust in London, UK, and in 2022 at the Studios at MASS MoCA in the US. Crombach has completed many public art commissions and has exhibited widely in Canada, Spain, and England.

The Pleiades-Electra 4/12 - emotive, nude, female, figurative, bronze statuette
By Richard Tosczak
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Canadian artist Richard Tosczak captures the beauty and elegance of the human form in his sculptures. This piece shows a nude female in a strong pose, arms raised above her head. Masterfully cast in bronze, in an edition of 12. “The figurative works of the last few years are overtly anonymous and convey an intense introspection. Even those figures, inspired by dynamic activities such as dance and contact improvisation, give the impression they are turning inward into themselves.” Richard Tosczak Born in Belgium, Richard Tosczak studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Further studies were pursued in France with another internationally acclaimed classic sculptor, Martine Vaugel...
