McArthur, Red Deer
Brian McArthur studied ceramics in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ohio. He deliberately and creatively reinvents the folklore of western Canada; early explorers, fur traders, historic politicians and even famous hockey players. His public commissions include mythical beaver paddling an impossible canoe, busts of local heroes and a comfy red brick couch for a main street. |
