Overskate

There’s something new waiting for you in our sculpture gallery!

Canadian artist Morus Hummel brought a distinctive blend of wit, expression, and gestural energy to his work. Overskate exemplifies the artist’s playful yet incisive approach to visual storytelling. Working in mixed media, Hummel layers energetic lines and textured surfaces to create a scene that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. The work’s title hints at motion and imbalance, suggesting a moment caught between action and misstep-an everyday drama rendered with humour and humanity.

Hummel, known for his expressive drawings, paintings, and prints, consistently explored gesture as a way of understanding character. In Overskate, he transforms a simple movement into an imaginative narrative, revealing his instinct for turning the ordinary into something quietly theatrical. The result is a work that captures Hummel’s distinct blend of wit, warmth, and keen observational insight.
