About First Study 1/8

This simply elegant figurative piece was created by Canadian artist Richard Tosczak. Cast in bronze, the nude female stands, head tilted, arms behind her back. The artist uses quick sketches in pen and ink as the blueprints for his work. This approach allows for a genuine expression of the captured moment in time.

“What inspires/informs my work? In a word, observation. I notice things…a gesture…an accident.” Richard Tosczak

Born in Belgium, Richard Tosczak studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Further studies were pursued in France with another internationally acclaimed classic sculptor, Martine Vaugel. Tosczak has exhibited in Canada, Brazil and in Europe. His work is held in private, public and corporate collections in Canada.
