Cory Fuhr

Canadian Artist Cory Fuhr’s steel sculptures have been gaining
notoriety since his gallery debut in 2001. His works have made
their way into collections throughout the world captivating a
growing audience. From intimate representations of musical
instruments to life size human forms his works show both depth
and strength.

Cory’s mechanical odyssey began in 1996 as his works steadily
moved away from the functional to the expressive and narrative.
Fuhr is a sculptor who specializes in monumental metal works.
He has numerous public sculptures to his credit which can be
seen walking through airports, convention centres, shopping
malls, office buildings, as well as museums.

Cory Fuhr shares his own universe of transformation and
mutation using an assortment of steel tools and gears, finely
detailed in each human assemblage. He creates a network of
narratives in which individuals are discovered, through light and
touch, revealing vulnerability in contrast to their powerful
presence.

“Anthropomorphic transformations have fascinated and inspired
my work throughout my life. The conflict of engineered and
untouched landscapes challenges humanity to reconcile our
organic forms with the monstrous artifice of our creations.
Through my work, I explore the possibility of acceptance, of
reconciliation.”
