Bruce Garner, known affectionately in the art world as "Bronze" Garner, is one of Canada's most talented, hardworking, prolific, skilled and well-known sculptors. He works in mediums other than bronze, but his bronzes are to be reckoned with. On the corner of Sparks and Elgin Streets, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, resides Bruce's bear. Fully erect, and standing on his back legs the bronze bear stands eighteen feet tall. The claws on his outstretched paws measure a full six inches. The fish he eats is two feet long. His mighty head, mouth open to reveal rows of spike sharp teeth measures at least three feet from snout to ears. It is a formidable work and guards the corner, providing exciting photo opportunities for tourists and residents alike.

Above left and left are two examples of Bruce's smaller bronzes approximately one to one and a half feet tall. You can see the power of these smaller pieces, which are always constructed with the intention of being brought up in scale. Bruce's Macquettes and statuettes are available through Wallack Galleries in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Or you can email Bruce with your inquiries.

Bruce, like many artists, concieves his work with sketches and paintings. This painting, left, gives us an idea of Bruce's love of energy charged colours. His paintings flow like liquid streams of energy bouncing with electric shapes. Due to Bruce's love of painting, he has evolved his sculpting into the medium of acrylic, in order to give three dimensional life to the flat plane of a canvas.

As you can see left, Bruce has successfully brought his dual dimension colour concepts into the third dimension with coloured acrylic and these pieces are as formidable in size and impression as his bronzes.

On Bruce's website you will find a listing of all his overscale works, along with their locations. You might be amazed to learn that you walk by Bruce's work every day, in Toronto, in Ottawa and other cities, in shopping malls, markets, and in front of corporate towers. Bruce's body of work is impressive. Owning a "Bronze" Garner is bound to be an investment for the future, not to mention a stupendous work to rediscover every day. At 72 years old, Bruce is still going strong and hopes, like Picasso, to do art every day till the day he dies.
