Ghost Dance R. Clarke Ellis

In this engaging abstract sculpture by Robert Clarke-Ellis two figures appear to dance together. White painted half-moon shapes top blue and red stick-like pieces that intersect as if embracing one another. The Toronto artist creates expressive pieces forged out of steel with clean bold lines; often in vivid colours. “The “humanness” of the figures speaks to the viewer to elicit a memory.`` Clarke-Ellis He has an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD).
