About the Item
Bold, clean lines and vivid colours attract the viewer’s eye to this minimalist sculpture by Robert Clarke-Ellis. The Toronto artist creates expressive pieces forged out of steel. The stick-like figures in bright red and yellow suggest an association with the X and Y chromosomes that determine the biological sex of an individual.
“The interaction (internal dialogue) between the sculpture and the spectator becomes at once personal and universal. This becomes the beginning for a new dialogue, event, or memory.” Clarke-Ellis
Robert Clarke Ellis holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. He began his career as a Sculpture Technician/ Instructor at NSCAD before completing a B.Ed. from Queen’s University. Ellis had a successful career as a high school Art and Welding teacher. He has been able to sculpt full time in his own studio for several years. Ellis’ work integrates abstract figures that reference common events and/or conversations designed to become a starting point for the viewer’s reflection. His work has been exhibited and held in private collections in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Michigan.
