When looking for a rental in Calgary, UPTEN is special. It offers modern amenities and has a strong link to the arts. With all the excitement about UPTEN, many people are asking, "Where is Bruno Catalano’s sculpture?" Let’s look into this artistic question.
Who is Bruno Catalano?
Bruno Catalano is a world-renowned Italian French sculptor celebrated for his striking and thought-provoking bronze sculptures. People recognize his art for its "missing pieces" effect. In this effect, parts of his human-like figures seem to be missing.
This gives the feeling of being incomplete. This symbolizes themes of identity, travel, and the human experience.
Cities like Paris, Marseille, and Hong Kong showcase Bruno Catalano’s original works. You might question whether Calgary possesses any of this artist's skill.
Bruno Catalano Sculpture in Calgary
From Calgary to Paris, New York, and Dubai, Bruno Catalano’s famous "Travelers" sculptures remind us of life’s journey. Even when parts of our story feel unfinished, our core identity remains intact.
We are proud to showcase the stunning sculptures by Bruno Catalano at UPTEN, located at 10 Ave SW. The "Van Gogh Monumental" statue, installed outside UPTEN in September 2020, is a remarkable four-meter-tall bronze sculpture depicting a fragmented Vincent Van Gogh. This piece is part of Catalano's renowned "Les Voyageurs" series.

Catalano’s works draw inspiration from themes of travel, migration, and human experiences. The distinctive missing sections of his sculptures symbolize the sense of incompleteness people feel as they move through life, leaving pieces of themselves behind during their journeys and experiences. These sculptures celebrate human strength, the beauty of travel, and the stories that shape us.
These installations have gained recognition from local media, highlighting UPTEN's contribution to Calgary’s cultural landscape. Avenue Calgary featured the "Van Gogh Monumental" statue in its article on notable public art pieces in the city.
