Geometric cobalt metallic blue painted steel sculpture. With a background in photography, Van Der Hout’s sculptural works reference the photographic medium, specifically the elements of light and motion. Motion is evoked in the structure of the sculptures and light is cast through the sculpture’s many lenses, traveling across the ground throughout the day as the sun moves. The resulting work is meant to be experienced both in space and time. As you walk around it, the colours combine in new and delightful ways, and the colourful shadows it casts change as the sun rises and sets. The sculptures can be lit at night from multiple directions to turn any location into a light installation. This sculpture is also available in varying sizes and colours by commission.

Ryan Van Der Hout (b. Toronto, 1987) has been exhibited in the U.K., New York, and in Canada most notably as part of the AGO’s Collector’s series and in a 2018 solo show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa. His work has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council. Van Der Hout is a graduate of Ryerson's photography program. His work has been published in The Huffington Post, CBC online, and Readers Digest. In 2017, he won the Emerging Photographer Award from the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, for his laser cut pigment print with gold leaf, Before the Storm. Van Der Hout’s new cubist-inspired faceted works push the boundaries of photography.
