Douglas Bentham, "The Tablets," installation, 2016
16 1/2' x 22'
With an international reputation spanning more than four decades, Saskatoon-based sculptor Douglas Bentham’s newest exhibition The Tablets represents the artist’s first installation piece. Comprised of 32 sculptural works installed in symmetrical rows, The Tablets exhibit presents a collection of metal assemblages of richly textured bronze and brass panels infused with fractured text, numbers and dates. The presentation of these tablet-like constructions contributes to a layered, overarching narrative of time, history, mortality and the general fragility of the human condition.
“The Tablets will show at Art Gallery of Swift Current next, from Jan 7 to Feb 26, 2017.
