Action - tall, dynamic, reflective, geometric, abstract, steel outdoor sculpture

2021

About the Item

With Action, Canadian artist Ryan Van Der Hout creates a sense of motion in rigid steel. Paying homage to Eadweard Muybridge's seminal photographs, which first captured frame-by-frame people in motion, Action captures this concept in an abstract way. With a rich background in photography, his sculptural works reference the camera's use of light and motion. Motion is evoked in the structure of the sculptures mirrored finish, relecting and refracting it's surroundings with shadows traveling across the ground throughout the day as the sun moves. This sculpture is also available in varying sizes by commission. “From a young age, I always wanted to create. Whether it was taking apart tv sets or creating installations out of old lightbulbs, I always had a project.” Ryan Van Der Hout Ryan Van Der Hout (b. Toronto, 1987) has been exhibited in the U.K., New York, and in Canada most notably as part of the AGO’s Collector’s series and in a 2018 solo show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa. His work has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council. Van Der Hout is a graduate of Ryerson's photography program. His work has been published in The Huffington Post, CBC online, and Readers Digest. In 2017, he won the Emerging Photographer Award from the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, for his laser cut pigment print with gold leaf, Before the Storm.

  • Chromatica - tall, geometric abstract, powder coated steel outdoor sculpture
    By Ryan Van Der Hout
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    As the sun moves through the sky, the green and purple lenses of Ryan Van Der Hout’s ‘Chromatica’ capture the light and cast colourful shadows. Van Der Hout’s powder-coated steel sculptures were inspired by their work as a professional photographer. This compelling modernist piece features five hand forged black steel poles that fan out from the center and are top and tailed with five disks of framed glass. Their vision was to create pieces infused with light and motion. As a result, the sculpture is best viewed by walking around it. “Effecting something of a kaleidoscopic eye, the sculpture’s lenses interact with sunlight and with each other to combine colours in surprising and delightful ways.” Ryan Van Der Hout An interdisciplinary artist Van...
