Gareth Lichty has risen to prominence as an emerging artist whose work is predicated upon an obsessive repurposing of common materials. Range is an ongoing project that the artist has been working on since 2007 ­- a monumental sculpture made entirely out of over 9 kilometers of hand-woven green garden hose. Reminiscent of a giant coiled serpent this gargantuan swell of undulating forms is both visually striking and unnerving, leaving the viewer with a profound sense of wonder and unease. Neatly combining the fine art of hand-weaving with a keen eye towards the use of banal materials on a grand scale, Lichty's ambitious work leads us to consider the almost routine collision between natural landscapes and urban sprawl.

Gareth Lichty studied Fine Arts at York University in Toronto and Sculpture at Leeds University in England. He has exhibited internationally and nationally with exhibitions in Europe, New Zealand and Canada. Lichty has been a Director and the Chair of Programming for CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum, Kitchener and Area) since 2005. He has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. Lichty lives and works in Kitchener, Ontario and is represented by Peak Gallery, Toronto.
