Eric Tardif Art
Canadian, b. 1965
Éric Tardiff creates provocative and dynamic outdoor sculptures. The Quebec artist’s abstract work is designed to actively engage the viewer.
“Playful while being contemplative, my work offers the viewer the opportunity to observe and react to the angle and the color of each component on its own terms.” Éric Tardif
Native of Kamouraska, son of the Bas Saint-Laurent, it is by creating photo-graphic atmospheres at the limit of figuration and abstraction that Eric Tardif sought to translate the impression of wide-open spaces and horizons without end.
Having initially chosen Natural Sciences as his first passion, he subsequently studied in the arts, including sculpture, to explore his talents. More and more, he decided to express his vision of things, and it was within the framework of his sculpture lessons that the idea of linking the dimension of movement and space was developed. Through his research and his discoveries on a technique of folding wood with steam, an avant-garde technique and not traditional in Quebec, he arrived at a singular mode of expression where the movement of his works seems to register in all lightness. He has received grants from CALQ and SODEC for several years.
He has more than 100 exhibitions to his name around the world, and his work can be found in 10 galleries across North America.to

Towards the sky (walnut wood bird abstract art zen sculpture pedestal minimal)
By Eric Tardif
Located in Quebec, Quebec
This steam-bent wooden sculpture is made of black walnut with a red sandstone base. The wood grain and the color are uniqueness of this sculpture. The wood has magnificent stripe patterns of paler and darker colors. The title, Toward the Sky, could have different meanings to humans during this hard period. One of them is to stay positive and keep hope.
In some cultures, a heron symbolizes contemplation, vigilance, divine wisdom, and inner quietness. As a Chinese symbol, a heron represents strength, purity, patience and long life. In Africa, herons were thought to communicate with the Gods. The elegance and purity of the lines are reminiscent of Native American art from Western Canada.The elegance and purity of the lines are reminiscent of Native American art from Western Canada including that of Benjamin Chee...

Kosso Eloul (1920-1995) is one of our favorite sculptors and an important contributor to public art in Toronto.
In addition to the numerous public sculptures in Toronto by Eloul, his works can be found in many other prominent open spaces around the world, from California to Israel.
Most familiar with Eloul associate his work with his signature forms; large brushed aluminum (or steel) angled rectangles.
However his earlier work was realized in stone. This fine sculpture, a form that is revisited and eventually created in metal, is made of Jerusalem Stone...
