Zoya Niedermann

Zoya Niedermann strives to find a balance between organic and geometric lines, using the solitary human form as her subject. Born in Montreal in 1954, she studied at the School of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and at Concordia University. During this period, she began to travel frequently abroad, and in the early 1980s, she created a series in welded steel on the theme "The City." In the 1990s, she spent several years in New York, where she discovered the energy of the local artistic community, meeting artists such as Lichtenstein, Fischl, Venet, and Arman, while regularly returning to Italy where she began working with bronze. In 1993, she received the Hakone Open-Air Museum prize at the prestigious Fujisankei Biennale in Japan.

Her outdoor sculptures are found worldwide, notably in Canada at the Industrial Life Tower in Montreal and at the George Bernard Shaw Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, as well as in private collections in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Australia, the United States, and Japan.
