Vibrant, hypnotic, and alive with detail, Oculis (2025) by Canadian contemporary artist Robert Buick is a striking example of kiln-fired glass fused with minimalist steel. This mixed media sculpture captures the energy of abstraction through a riot of colour, texture, and embedded forms. Bold reds, electric blues, and high-contrast blacks converge with gleaming metallic accents and organic shapes, creating a visual language that is at once chaotic and precise.

The fused glass panel is mounted on a custom steel base, giving the work structural elegance and grounding its expressive surface in modern design. Buick’s technique involves layering and firing glass elements in a kiln to achieve dimensionality, translucency, and depth, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece from multiple angles. The sculptural composition is reminiscent of stained glass, yet decidedly contemporary—blending industrial edge with emotive, painterly detail.

Perfect for collectors of modern glass sculpture and abstract contemporary art, Oculis is a one-of-a-kind piece that exemplifies Buick’s mastery of material and motion. Ideal for gallery exhibitions, modern interiors, or as a signature statement artwork.
