The Garden of Art

Vic Cicansky, Sculptor

by Don Kerr

tagged: canadian
Description

Elegant, surreal, erotic, ecological, autobiographical, perpetual, populist, comic! These are the words that describe the work of noted Regina sculptor Victor Cicansky. The book celebrates the voice, life, and art of this prolific prairie-based artist. Nature, tamed or wild, informs everything he makes; worlds we recognize with pleasure, where cabbages are kings. This book is written in a style that is informed by, yet not overburdened with, critical analysis, allowing the art to speak for itself.

Kerr's writing is descriptive and light . . . The book is consequently accessible and enjoyable to a reader with any level of visual art background.
