Dale Dunning, Sculpture

Oeno Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the inspired cast bronze, steel and aluminum sculptures by Canadian artist Dale Dunning. Using the head as a metaphor for human experience, Dunning’s work reflects a romantic sensibility that recalls the Gothic literature of Mary Shelley or the poetic drama of Greek mythology.

The head that I employ in most of my work is generic…I look on them as a mirror which reflects back the observer’s experience in new combinations and associations. ~ Dale Dunning
