About the Item

This monumental steel figurative sculpture of a moose is designed for the outdoors. The majestic moose, an iconic national symbol, is the subject of this imposing realistic silhouette by Stan Olthius. The Canadian artist favours using materials that have a raw, natural finish. Forged from corten steel, this sculpture will naturally weather and over time acquire an even more attractive rust-coloured patina. Several ‘cut-out’ shapes within the body of the moose are intended to represent the animal’s natural habitat in the wilderness, including ponds, leaves and clouds. “The moose is a creature that has inspired for centuries with its power and gentle disposition. It moves effortlessly through the landscape, embodying ancient wisdom, nobility and a creative spirit; it is a navigator, a shape shifter, a gentle giant. The moose has an ability to move at great speed over seemingly impossible terrain. Thoughtfully placed within its natural habitat, the piece is an elegant tribute to the mighty, enduring animal. In this piece, I pose a larger invitation to open up and examine the many different ways in which we can see ourselves.” Stan Olthuis Stan Olthuis is from Alberta but studied in Chicago with Henk Krijger, a Dutch artist whose delight and mastery in many visual disciplines imbedded a lasting influence. He continued at the Ontario College of Art and Design, where he studied under many respected working artists: Fred Hagan, Gus Weisman, Nobuo Kubota, Tom Dean, Udo Kasemets, and Dan Solomon are a few. Notable was Tom Hodgson, a member of the Painters Eleven. Stan Olthuis’s work has been exhibited in both Canada and the US. He recently completed a large commissioned sculpture, “Worlds Apart,” for a Toronto-based company.

Abstract Men Outdoor Large Sculpture, Brown Rusted Metal & Silver Aluminum
Located in ALCOY/ALCOI, ES
Passadís Here some fragments for one of his latest exhibition catalogue “I think that a work of art should puzzle viewers, make them reflect on the meaning of life” Antoni Tàpies Moisés Gil’s sculptures can be described as philosophical and conceptual, as they encourage individuals to reflect and act in a never-ending existential struggle, in the face of the multiple situations by which they are affected in contemporary societies. Art is always a form of communication: communication with and between the materials employed by the artist, giving rise to an aesthetic visual balance able to convey feelings, emotions and ideas, all of which are essential to a nonconformist commitment and worldview. Moisés Gil puts his representations of individuals in sculptural structures to better indicate the place of humans in the world, the place of contemporary individuals in their different environments, sometimes hostile; they are naked men...
