metal art furniture & home decor
by John and Heather Zondervan
As the name implies, this small progressive company near Guelph, Ontario, is part of the changing face of metal art. Based on the philosophy of minimalism, the work has a distinctive style, featuring clean lines, and, in the case of the indoor designs, a consistant ground metal finish.
Metallic Evolution is dedicated to the pursuit of beauty in function, and to creating metal objects that will enhance daily life.

wire sculpture

My sculpture is mainly composed of air. I use bits of wire only to define that part of air to which I want to draw my audience’s attention…minimal visual cues to assist the mind to define space, or enclose volume. Sometimes no more than a simple gesture, my work can consist of a strand or two, or be a highly detailed study consisting of many pieces of wire.

My artwork is eclectic in nature. From an early age I was drawn to search out natural elements, these in turn often dictated the direction my creativity would move in. Growing up in the Kawarthas, lakes and woodlands have naturally influenced my work. Many of my pieces reflect the landscape that is so much a part of our Canadian heritage.
In the processing and finishing of my metal work , it's important to me that I present a unique work of art that is recognized for its' hand worked elements. Although predominantly a metal artist, I also paint.
