Nicholas Crombach
Macaw - large, rustic, figurative, animal, bird, bronze, outdoor sculpture

2012

About the Item

A large, bronze baby macaw struggles and screeches from an awkward position on the ground. Loud, self-confident and active, macaws are the symbol of creative intelligence, inspiration, and freedom. Relying on traditional skills of representation, Macaw connotes both a serious and humorous affect. Macaws are colourful birds in the parrot family that live up to 50 years. In North America, the birds spend their lives caged or indoors. This powerful work can be positioned either outdoors or indoors. Nicholas Crombach (b.1989, Kingston, ON) graduated from OCAD University’s Sculpture and Installation program in 2012 winning the Faculty Award, the Samuel Lazar Kagan Award and the Hayden Davies Memorial Award. Working in a variety of cast media including bronze and resin, Crombach explores the complex relationship of animals and humans. His thought provoking work is imbued with wry humor. Crombach was recipient of the Abraham and Malka Green award, a BMO 1st Art Nomination as well as grants from Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation and the Ontario Arts Council. He was the 2016-17 artist in residence at The Florence Trust in London, UK. Crombach has completed public art commissions notably Billy, Nanny and the Kids for Appleby Village Mall in Burlington, Ontario and he has exhibited widely in Canada, Spain, and England. His work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Museu Europeu d'Art Modern in Barcelona and First Capital Realty in Toronto.

  • Arethusa immerses herself in the Alpheus river - figurative, bronze statuette
    By Richard Tosczak
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    This large bronze statuette of a reclining nude with legs outstretched, arms tucked in and straining to sit up was created rapidly in gestures that verge on abstraction. The modern and dynamic formalism that departs from realism allows the viewer to focus on emotive qualities of pure form. This is number 1 in an edition of 8. Tosczak is a Belgian-born, Edmonton-based figurative sculptor. He studied philosophy and modernist sculpture, working in steel, at the University of Alberta where a number of the professors had a strong affiliation with Sir Anthony Caro and Clement Greenberg. Richard pursued further artistic training in the Loire Valley with Martine Vaugel...

  • The Pleiades-Electra 4/12 - emotive, nude, female, figurative, bronze statuette
    By Richard Tosczak
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Canadian artist Richard Tosczak captures the beauty and elegance of the human form in his sculptures. This piece shows a nude female in a strong pose, arms raised above her head. Masterfully cast in bronze, in an edition of 12. “The figurative works of the last few years are overtly anonymous and convey an intense introspection. Even those figures, inspired by dynamic activities such as dance and contact improvisation, give the impression they are turning inward into themselves.” Richard Tosczak Born in Belgium, Richard Tosczak studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Further studies were pursued in France with another internationally acclaimed classic sculptor, Martine Vaugel...
