About the Item
Colourful. Engaging. Minimalist. Theatrical. That describes the work of Robert Clarke-Ellis. The Toronto sculptor creates accessible pieces that although playful in form often speak to serious values. This piece features two abstract shapes forged from steel, painted in bright blue; the ‘faces’—half moon shapes in a sunny yellow face and touch one another. Literally ‘facetime’!
‘Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.’ Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)
“The “humanness” of the figures speaks to the viewer to elicit a memory.” Clarke-Ellis
He has an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD). He began his career as an instructor at NSCAD before completing a degree in education from Queen's University.

Bewitched - tall, modern, abstract, contemporary, aluminum outdoor sculpture
By Stephane Langlois
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Two organic shapes rise from the ground and reach for the sky in this finely crafted aluminum sculpture by Stephane Langlois. The abstract forms evoke the idea of two humans engaged in a dance, perhaps two birds, moving in response to one another. These sculptures are lively in the sunlight, moody in the evening light. They work well in sunny climates, and are also outstanding against the winter snow and light.
Individual dimensions: pictured here, the left piece is 91 x 20 x 18 inches. The right piece is 91 x 19 x 21 inches.
Stephane Langlois completed a bachelor's degree in psychology, in 2002, and a D.E.C in sculpture at the Maison des métiers d'art in Quebec City...
