Sculpture can be so many things. So many different shapes. Colors. Meanings.Canadian artist Shary Boyle works across diverse media, including sculpture, drawing, installation and performance.
Highly crafted and deeply imaginative, her practice is activated through collaboration and mentorship.
While she works in multiple mediums, Boyle is best known for her porcelain figurines.
Boyle’s work considers the social history of figurines, spiritual energy mythologies, and folk art forms to create a symbolic diversity uniquely her own.
At first look you wonder what it is about these creations that makes you want to look closer.
Boyle’s fantastical and frightening characters are indeterminately human and animal, male and female, and each one sends out a unique vibration that makes you appreciate her diversity.

I am so glad you like them! I was fascinated by her work — one of those artists who do several things to each piece she creates.
