Michael B. Pocock
Michael is a Canadian metal sculptor with over three decades of professional practice, working from a restored historic blacksmith shop in rural Ontario. His studio and private showroom occupy a large heritage property that once served as the town’s original forge — a setting that reflects both the lineage and permanence of his work.
For more than 30 years, his sculptures have been commissioned and collected by discerning private clients, prestigious golf and ski clubs, architectural firms, charities, and municipal institutions. His work is found in some of the region’s most distinguished homes, as well as select outdoor and public settings where craftsmanship and restraint are paramount.
Known for a refined balance of strength and subtlety, his sculptures are unmistakably contemporary yet timeless. Each piece is fabricated by hand, emphasizing material integrity, proportion, and surface treatment. The work does not compete with its environment; it elevates it.
His newest body of work introduces a series of large-scale, three-panel metal compositions designed specifically for sophisticated interiors. With dark, architecturally toned backgrounds and sculptural central elements, these pieces are intentionally understated — commanding attention without excess. They are conceived as long-term statements of taste, meant for collectors who value originality, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence over trend or spectacle.
