Here at the Arcade one of our dealers (Brenda Neal Unit 4) has a stunning sculpture by Carole Danyluk, Carole was raised and educated in Alberta and now calls British Columbia home. Her lifetime interest in the fine arts led her to a Bachelors of Art from the University of Alberta and a Bachelor of Art Education from the University of Calgary. She has also studied architectural drawing at NAIT.
“The thing that makes bronze different from other media is the degree of commitment and responsibility that goes with it. You have to be willing to work hard and willing to surrender sometimes. Bronze is pretty much forever.” — Carole Danyluk
Carole Danyluk’s extraordinary background has enhanced her Wildlife Bronze in marvellous ways. From art teacher, to Published Wildlife Photographer, Carole deeply knows how to capture life-like qualities, accuracy and detail in bronze.
Carole’s unique style departs from the stoic formal images so typically seen in bronze, rather portraying the animals as they really are in nature. Amazingly, her lively sculptures really appear to be in play or caught in the middle of a scratch – you feel as though you’ve truly stumbled across the creature in the wild.
Using the ancient Lost-Wax Technique, it’s incredible Carole made such a radical switch from photography to the unruly and unforgiving medium which is bronze. However, her elegant suspension and precise detail exemplifies the daring but worthy switch.
The laborious complex casting process is 125 individual steps for a single piece of a bronze addition. Once one piece is completed, Carole amazingly repeats the entire process again. The sheer hours and effort for a bronze series is extraordinary. After casting, the original clay model is photographed being split in two, guaranteeing no further additions to a series.
As a female in a male dominated medium, Danyluk brings a unique maternal, whimsical and tender quality to her pieces. She successfully captures the personality of the animal in her work. In addition, her masterful patina work, all done with acid and blow torch, portrays vivid colours typically unseen in the medium.
Carole’s distinctive sculptures are collected by and sought after by individuals from around the world.
