Vance Theoret
A self-taught stone carver of Mohawk descent, Vance Theoret´s unique artistic vision captures a passion for his British Columbia home and the wildlife that inhabits it.
Carving in alabaster and soapstone, along with slates, chlorite and moose antlers, Vance creates imaginative works that personify his favorite subject, bears and the animals, and reflect a sense of curiosity and playful spirit.
Vance prefers to use a minimalist, "direct carve approach." Rather than forcing his ideas onto the stone, he lets the stone draw out his designs and artistic expression, guiding him with its natural form and inclinations.
Vance´s masterful use of the medium, with its exquisite textures, hues, swirls and imperfections give his work a rich and warm glow embodied in simple elegance.
