Stephen Cole

From the Chaos

​

A new sculpture exhibition by Gabriola artist Stephen Cole. Stephen was born in Manitoba and grew up in the Okanogan in Salmon Arm BC. A self-taught artist, he started carving at 14. He and his studio have been a fixture on the island since 2015. Always drawing from nature whether its the human form or rock formations, Stephen's sculptures captivate and draw in curious viewers. This show highlights his broad use of both man made and natural found materials transforming them into pieces that leave a lasting impression and evoke awe.
