\"\"<\/a>New Members (from left to right): Art DiLella (Toronto, ON), Jonathan Edwin Simpson (Toronto, ON), Paul Duval (Saint-Georges, QC) and Marie-Jos\u00e9e Roy (Trois-Riv\u00e8res, QC)<\/p>\n

The Sculptors Society of Canada welcomed four new members. Each of the new additions brought interesting and unique perspectives along with them. Works by three new members focus on the human body. By incorporating various media \u2013 their visual statements are extremely diverse \u2013 yet rejoice in the human spirit. The fourth new member presents a more cerebral approach: human thoughts hand-stamped on natural elements.<\/p>\n

Art DiLella’s\u00a0work focuses on anatomy; the evolution of portraiture from classical to contemporary in order to depict the true identity of his models in a super realistic way \u2013 sometimes even delving into satire or parody.<\/p>\n

Integrating recycled materials and paper pulp, Duval\u2019s \u201cbody narrations\u201d are transitions from fantasy to reality \u2013 witnessing human daily lives.<\/p>\n

As Roy acknowledges \u2013 her expression is \u201cphysical\u201d. Inspired by the fusional properties of metal and human resilience, her forged steel, bronze and aluminum castings imbue feminine poetic intensity.<\/p>\n

Simpson\u2019s \u201cdendron\/tree parts\u201d \u2013 transforms forgotten thought patterns with embedded text: letter by letter \u2013 paradoxically forming a fictional narrative within the reality of their recollected dream imagery.<\/p>\n
