Joel Berman is an artist, designer and consultant in the area of product design, and commercial and public art.

Art & Design must not only acknowledge its surrounding architecture, and the community at large. It must also create timeless relevance that continues to produce a unique sense of place and soul.

Latest PROJECT

Alder Canopy, Richmond, BC (2018)

Location: Artwork is located within the Gardens Development (12733 Steveston Hwy and 10780 No. 5 Rd), between the Calla and Jasmine buildings.

Materials: Weathering Steel, tempered, laminated digitally printed glass
Sponsored By: Townline Gardens Inc.

The sculpture is made up of 6 weathering steel limbs roughly 10’ tall, welded to a steel base, set and connected to the concrete base. The tips are tempered, laminated, low iron glass with a digital image of Alder leaves cantilevering off of the weathering or rusting steel uprights. The steel will rust for a year then the patina process will be complete.

Alder Canopy is a structure derived from a grove of alder trees photographed on South Pender Island. The ‘Gardens’ theme was a guiding light for the concept process for this project and resulted in an elegant form that showcases the beautiful partnership that glass and weathering steel. A stylized and artistically interpreted tree form, which closely resembles first growth Pacific Northwest fir trees blended two of our more indigenous local trees. The weathering steel is a novel play off of the aging of tree bark.”
