The Magnificent Outdoor Sculpture Garden At Oeno Gallery

Just east of Toronto, Oeno Gallery has dedicated itself to a contemporary reinterpretation of the English landscape movement. This contemporary gallery is situated amidst pinot noir vines in a burgeoning wine region that Time Magazine declared to be one of the top 50 places in the world to visit. The only Canadian destination to make that list, Prince Edward County is gaining international fame for its stunning landscapes, award-winning wines, and most recently, as a mecca for art lovers.

Full Tilt Blue Maquette by Shayne Dark, 2019. Wood and Acrylic, 51 x 36 x 31 Inches

Designed in 2010 by Oeno Gallery owner Carlyn Moulton and landscape architect Drew McCandlish, this garden is now one of the largest private retail sculpture attractions in North America. Over 40,000 visitors arrive each season — whether by private plane, the helipad next to the garden, by train or by car — to enjoy over 70 outdoor sculptures installed by wild grasses, ponds, butterfly gardens, maples and curved garden beds brimming with purple sage and lavender.

‘Zephyr’ (2019), by Jeremy Guy. Smooth surfaced, black granite flecked almost imperceptibly with copper and white has been engineered into an elegant ribbon in tangible contrast to its weight. This work has a steel substructure and sits on an aluminum base. 27.5 × 36 × 12 Inches

Oeno’s outdoor gallery also includes the elegant, engineered stone abstract sculptures by British-born Jeremy Guy. The influence of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore is evident in Zephyr, a 9 foot wide, black granite homage to the west wind. This graceful work and others by Guy are now installed in private residential and commercial grounds in Sarasota, Scarsdale, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Toronto.

Marc Plamondon’s ‘Chute des Cubes’, current production. Impossibly balanced, these three white cubes form one monolithic outdoor structure. At night the sides of the cubes appear as free-floating diamonds. This is powder-coated white stainless steel.

Sculptures from Oeno’s gardens now grace private gardens near Toronto, Los Angeles, Houston, New York, London, Hong Kong, Columbo, Sydney and Stockholm. Recent public installations have included golf courses, condominium plazas, malls, parks, and botanical gardens in many North American locations from Vancouver to Las Vegas. The gallery has a full-time team of professionals crating and packing shipping containers with sculptures ranging in size, up to several tons. Drone footage of the garden https://youtu.be/HxxbVHcfKJw reveals the range of abstract and figurative work available.

Shayne Dark’s ‘Glacial Series: Drop Stones 1, 2 & 3’, (2015). This large scale outdoor installation consists of three hollow, polygonal steel boulders called Drop Stones that have a rusted, weathered patina. The works represent erratic, geometric stones shaped and carried often hundreds of kilometers by glacial ice.

Shayne Dark’s contemporary steel sculptures in eye-popping colors have proven perfect for many locations. Tableau Condominiums, Toronto, commissioned Dark to create a neon yellow, site specific work from the artist’s Entangled series. Another from this series, his Yves Klein blue Tanglewood (2015) was purchased by the Albright Knox Gallery for its gardens following its exhibition at Art Basel. And his saturated blue Entangled, a private acquisition, was lifted by crane into the gardens of a collector’s Toronto estate in 2018. Just last year, he was invited to be artist in residence at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, where his large Glacial Drop Stone sculpture was exhibited. Dark’s work can now be seen in Czechoslovakia, California, Calgary, Chicago, and Toronto.

Floyd Elzinga’s ‘Unzip the Earth’, by commission. Unzip the Earth is a playful, outdoor sculptural installation consisting of a polished and reflective steel zipper handle and concrete brick teeth that give the illusion of unzipping the hillside. This outdoor artwork is available by commission only which may take up to 3 or more months to complete. Pictured here is the artist’s proof. Measurements of Zipper sculpture only as in pictured installation: 27 h x 48 w x 31 d Inches.

Oeno Gallery has worked with the art placement firm, the Gateway Foundation, in the acquisition of Floyd Elzinga’s Unzip the Earth, for a public park in St. Louis, MO. Another edition of this playful, Pop art-inspired stainless steel sculpture was shipped to a private collector in Portugal.

Carole Feuerman’s ‘Miniature Brooke with Beach Ball 14/38’, (2018). Rendered in hyper-realistic detail – from mink hair eyelashes to simulated drops of water on ultra smooth skin – the upper body of a female swimmer emerges to float on a multi-colored beach ball. This work by American sculptor Carole Feuerman is number 14 in an edition of 38.

Oeno is now representing the exciting work of New York sculptor Carole Feuerman. Known for her hyperrealist sculptures of swimmers, Feuerman creates indoor and outdoor pieces in a variety of media. Her outdoor work includes the monumental bronze Golden Mean, owned by the City of Peekskill, NY.

Anne O’Callaghan’s ‘Urn’, (2018). Poetic and playful, this stainless steel and tempered glass outdoor urn reflects the environment and the changing light of day. Installed next to pond or river, the glass of the amphora shape creates the illusion that it is filling and emptying with water as the sun sets. This sculpture can be created in three sizes and is limited to an edition of 20. Constructed in polished stainless steel, and heavy duty tempered glass, it has been installed in high wind conditions, winter with ice and snow, and high heat situations and has remained totally stable.

New works are installed in the garden every spring, but work is commissioned, sold and shipped throughout the year. Oeno’s love of sculpture is also reflected in their interior exhibitions, where work in glass, steel, clay, wood and other media are exhibited throughout the year. The gallery has a team of experienced art and logistics consultants ready to assist landscape architects, designers and clients to make the process goes smoothly. Oeno Gallery offers complimentary shipping to North American destinations, and work ships to the US duty and tax exempt. Just another one of Canada’s best kept secrets.

‘Scarlet Cup’ (2019), by Fiona Ackerman. Acrylic and Oil on Canvas. 48 × 36 Inches.

Oeno Gallery's current show Botanical is a solo exhibition featuring the work of Fiona Ackerman. Inspired by the narratives and botanical drawings of Canadian pioneers Suzanna Moodie and her sister Catharine Parr Traill, Fiona Ackerman has created a series paintings that re-imagine nature. In her work, Ackerman re-interprets the taxonomy of flora, overlapping bold shapes with colourful flowers and stems, seeds and fruit. The exhibition is on view through December 9, 2019.

Oeno Gallery is located at 2274 County Road 1, in Bloomfield / Prince Edward County, Ontario, K0K 1G0 Canada.

For this monumental artwork, Versteeg will present the entire text of the seminal book “Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered” by E.F. Schumacher word for word.

For six evenings, large letters will scroll down the sides of the hotel at a pace that is comfortable to read, offering a complete public reading visible for miles on Miami’s skyline. For decades, this renowned book has been a resource for economists, business strategists and politicians alike to promote environmentalism and balance between economic growth and the costs of globalism on society.

The launch event kicks off five evenings of public screenings of the over 300-page book, so that it will be “read” in its entirety, each night dedicated to a section of the book: Part 1: THE MODERN WORLD, Part II: RESOURCES, Part III: THE THIRD WORLD, Part IV: ORGANISATION AND OWNERSHIP, and Epilogue.
