Description:
Eli Bornstein (b.1922) occupies a unique place in the story of modern art in Canada. For over seven decades he has devoted his artistic career to working with abstract three-dimensional works, or Structurist Reliefs, as he has dubbed them. These multicoloured objects extend into the world, their appearances changing with the play of light and shadow and with the onlooker's viewpoint. Simultaneously, Bornstein has always rooted his art in an intense study of natural phenomena.
