With
skillful articulation and honed technique, Tobias Canfield (b.
1983) uses his work to express the conflicts between personal
identity and social preconceptions. Canfield graduated from
the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, in 2005, with a BA
in sculpture. As a student, he studied metal casing, integrating
materials, and carving both stone and wood. During his time
as a student, he demonstrated a consistency in the conceptual
direction of his work. |

Canfield
participated in the sixth and seventh annual New Ideas in Medallic
Sculpture exhibitions, which traveled internationally and included
the work of students from art institutions in Brazil, Portugal,
and Russia. His medallic sculptures are in the permanent collections
of the New Approach Contemporary Medallic Sculpture Collection
and Research Center in New York, and the Saint-Petersburg State
Artistic Industrial Academy in Russia. This is Canfield's first
one-person exhibition at Medialia ... Rack and Hamper Gallery. |
