Inspirational Heroes of Canada With Tyler Fauvelle
from Sculpture Vulture · host Antique Bronze
Today on the show, Lucy Branch speaks to Canadian Sculptor Tyler Fauvelle who is based in Northern Ontario. His public monuments give permanent, visible form to stories that deserve to be seen. Working in a figurative style with impressionistic touches, Tyler commemorates military heroes, cultural pioneers and indigenous figures whose contributions to Canadian history are real and significant, but whose presence in the public landscape has been, until now, absent.In this episode, we talk about how Tyler came to sculpture later than he might have — nudged there by his wife — and how 18 years on, he's built a practice entirely around work he believes in. We discuss the Francis Pegahmagabow monument, one of Canada's most decorated indigenous soldiers, and the extraordinary way that sculpture took on a life of its own in the community. You can find Tyler's work at tylerfauvelle.caThe statue on our podcast graphic (Pegasus and Bellerophon) is by sculptor Amy Goodman.
