Bella by Nicholas Crombach

About the Work

Nicholas Crombach works predominantly with human and animal figures, creating narratives including mundane objects, suggestive titles and scenarios within his work. Having grown up in rural Ontario, his childhood experiences with animals now inform his art practice. His sculptures frequently addresses the complicated relationships between humans and domesticated animals. With his sculpture of a cow called Bella, Crombach has the animal perched on a pedestal like a performing dog and clothed in a body fitting coat made of feed sacks. Perhaps "Best In Show" but for live stock.
