TWO PATINATED AND PAINTED BRONZE SCULPTURES IN THE SHAPE OF FRUIT TREES

Victor Cicansky, is a Canadian sculptor known for his witty narrative ceramics and bronze fruits and vegetables. A founder of the Regina Clay Movement, Cicansky’s work combines a 'wry sense of style' with a postmodern 'aesthetic based on place and personal experience'. The present sculptures, which are modelled as small fruit tress with spades as tree trunks, reflect his rural upbringing, love of gardening and opposition to urban 'disdain of anything small' (Ferguson, Bruce and Phillips, Carol A. Victor Cicansky: Clay Sculpture. Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery: Regina 1983, p. 21).
