Making his museum debut, Canadian artist Ranbir Sidhu brings his futuristic vision to the AGO with an exhibition of three new monumental sculptures. Curated by Julian Cox, AGO Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Sidhu’s strikingly contemporary large-scale works are technically audacious and culturally resonant monuments that meld the past, present, and future into a singular, striking vision.
Blurring the line between form and ideas, industry and intuition, Sidhu seamlessly weaves Sikh history and iconography into a contemporary visual language. His ambitious sculptural works are exquisitely engineered in a variety of metals.
Born in Maidenhead, England, and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, Ranbir Sidhu transforms stainless steel and marble into sculptural and installation works that challenge our perception of scale and space. Sidhu’s practice draws inspiration from the spiritual transcendence of post-war abstraction and the historical depth of his Sikh heritage. He embraces the creative possibilities of advanced fabrication technologies to produce works that are as conceptually rich as they are visually and technically arresting.
