Untitled (Triangular Tower) rises in a dynamic triangular formation, finished in a deep dark green patina that accentuates its architectural strength and solemn beauty. The work hints at themes of resilience and reconstruction, possibly created from reclaimed or recharged metal, evoking a quiet monumentality in the shadow of 9/11.

Gord Smith is widely recognized for his large-scale public sculptures and innovative use of metal. A key figure in postwar Canadian abstraction, his works are included in major collections such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and numerous international public spaces. Smith’s sculptures often reflect a deep engagement with modernist architecture and spatial tension, pushing metal into expressive, almost meditative forms. See less
