About the Item

Paul Villinski is an American sculptor widely known for transforming littered cans from the city streets into large-scale, abstract installations of life-like butterflies. Over three decades, his wide-ranging work has engaged themes as diverse as memory, childhood, addiction and recovery, flight, nature, sustainability, and transformation. With a lifelong concern for environmental issues, his work frequently re-purposes and "re-cycles" discarded materials -- the detritus of contemporary life -- exploring the possibilities and narratives embedded in the "worthless," to surprising and poetic ends. An avid pilot, metaphors of flight and soaring -- whether physical, psychological, or spiritual -- often appear in his work. A graduate of The Cooper Union, Villinski's work has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States, including a recent mid-career survey, "Farther," organized by the Taubman Museum of Art, Roanoke, Va. He lives and works in Queens and the Catskills with his partner, painter Amy Park, and their young son, Lark.

  • Collaged Geometric Disc Mobile - Abstract, Colourful, Canvas and Board Mobile
    By Aron Hill
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Dynamic and whimsical, Aron Hill’s mobile is a joyful contemporary kinetic sculpture. Three separate discs are covered in a curated collage of shapes and brilliant colours. The colour profile here is Hill’s characteristically vivid palette-- orange, yellow, blue, red, and green punctuated by black and white. Delicately balanced, the sculpture moves in the air redefining the space and affording the viewer a fresh ‘view’. Mobiles have existed for millennia—at first as windchimes, then re-imagined by Russian sculptors...
