P. Roch Smith
Daily Grind - Patinated bronze cups stacked on a male figure

2020

About the Item

A tower of cups stacked face to face and end to end create a beautifully undulating formal column reminiscent of Brancusi's Endless Column. Precariously balanced on the shoulders of a small bronze figure, the leagues of cups invite one to contemplate notions of consumption, modern life, and drive. Smith received a BFA (Honours Sculpture) from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 1997 and an MFA from York University in 2003. A teacher as well as an artist, he has taught classes at the University of Waterloo, ECIAD and York University. He currently manages and operates the bronze and aluminum foundry at York University. Smith has exhibited throughout Canada and in the US and his work is included in private, corporate and museum collections in British Columbia, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York.

  • Territorial Bird - Outdoor sculpture
    By Ania Biczysko
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Territorial Bird is constructed from stylized and highly reflective ribbons of stainless steel that change colour and luminosity with the surrounding environment. Abstracted, but recognizably bird like, the weightless effect of Biczysko's sculpture achieves the appearance of motion. Ania Biczysko obtained a Master’s Degree in Sculpture from the Fine Art Academy in Gdansk, Poland (1986). Biczysko’s versatility is reflected through a variety of creative expressions and mediums. Over the years, she has received many public exhibitions and commissions, both within Canada...
