About this artwork
The Rock Fish sculpture turns 360 degrees and is pinned to a large base stone as if defying gravity. This unique marble from Vancouver Island has been on the forest floor for so long that one can see speckles coloured a pale orange in hue. These are tannins from wood and are part of the geology of this beautiful stone found near Skull Lake. The skin of the stone is in essence the skin of the fish, the surface of the sculpture, a geological painting…
unto itself. The lines are sharp and the movement fluid yet still. This is a special piece grounded by it's simplicity and philosophy.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Kent Laforme is a masterful sculptor and painter, trained in Canada and Italy, who delves into marble, stone, and oil painting to explore cultural identity and the continuum of sculptural tradition. His technique is rooted in classical hand-carving, blending East and West, with textured surfaces that play with light and shadow—marrying ephemeral abstraction and contemplative figuration. His artworks evoke deep reflection, the timeless power of nature, and a sense of existential wonder, inviting viewers into meditations on identity and the cycles that shape human civilization.
