Laura Moriarty Abstract Sculptures

Laura Moriarty is engaged in a visual dialogue that finds equilibrium between scientific representation and acts of abstraction. Her studio practice includes making sculptures, paintings, prints and multimedia installations. By studying the elaborate diagrams found in earth science textbooks and from empirical evidence of geological events, Moriarty creates macro/micro records in encaustic paint of what she imagines is happening below the earth’s terrain. Moriarty’s work is shown internationally and she is the recipient of many grants and fellowships, including the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant and Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, Zeta Orionis Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT and the Baer Art Center, Hofsos, Iceland.

Heartland V2 - tall, black, abstract patinated stainless steel outdoor sculpture

By Viktor Mitic

Located in Bloomfield, ON

An imposing fourteen-foot tower of curved abstract shapes is fabricated from stainless steel in this new sculpture from Viktor Mitic. He is known for his colourful abstract paintings and sculptures that were inspired by paint drippings on his studio floor. This intriguing patinated piece in rich dark tones signals a departure for Mitic. “My goal with these is to showcase the universal human connection we are all a part of, and if I can make a statement while doing so, even better.” Viktor Mitic Serbian-born Viktor Mitic earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 with studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired...
