9 Figures in Motion with a Puck

9 Figures in Motion with a Puck, created by St. Albert-based artist Al Henderson, combines the disciplines of painting and sculpture to create an artwork that celebrates movement and motion. In creating the work, the artist thought about the rink and the activity that will animate it. 

The artwork is a graphic site specific installation of wall mounted fully round figures over a painted pattern. It commands the area above the upper entrance to the Community Rink. 

“These places have a sense of community, are a little wild sometimes, a bit proud and a whole lot of fun.” Bold, enticing and free-flowing, the work centres on a skater, and changes when viewed from many distances and angles by both pedway and rink users. 

The closer you get to the artwork, details such as pucks, skates, gestures, and small figures reveal themselves.
