About the Artist

Sorel Etrog was a highly acclaimed Romanian-Canadian artist, celebrated for his distinctive bronze sculptures. His work is characterized by powerful, totemic forms that often feature intricate interlocking elements, suggesting mechanical joints or organic structures. Etrog's sculptures explored profound themes of communication, conflict, and the human condition, drawing inspiration from ancient art, tribal artifacts, and the complexities of modern machinery. His pieces possessed a dynamic tension and a sense of perpetual motion, reflecting on the challenges of human interaction and the search for connection in a fragmented world. His legacy includes numerous public art commissions globally.
