The Varley Art Gallery is proud to present Max Streicher’s installation, Quadriga (2006).
This series of four giant-sized horses will be installed on the roof of the tower overlooking the Varley’s courtyard and entrance until Thanksgiving weekend.
Since 1989, Streicher has worked extensively with installation works and inflatable technology. His large-scale kinetic sculptures are hand-sewn using light and durable fabric such as Tyvek, and appear realistic due to the effortless naturalism of their motion and sway. For Max, inflatables are the medium of enchantment, fantasy and optimism.
The Varley Art Gallery of Markham is supported by the Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham, the Town of Markham, the Ontario Arts Council, the Department of Canadian Heritage, memberships, and private donations.
