Mitchell Kotansky (*1962 Montreal) is a sculptor living and working in Montreal. Working predominantly in bronze, Kotansky has learned the technical process of lost wax bronze casting and with this experience has been able to develop a unique style of expressive sculpture. The subject of his work is the human condition. His sculptures and drawings deal with relationships between individuals. The strong textural style in his technique has enabled his work to express an emotional content unachievable through traditional methods. Humanity often places itself apart in isolation from the rest of the natural world. To emphasize this, Kotansky has positioned his works on tall thin steel rods. Steel, a strong noble material has become delicate in its utilization. The interplay between the traditional materials and the emotional content create a visual tension that is evident in the works. His studio, The Sculpture Studio, is a creative space, and has been in existence since 1992.
