Ken Macklin (born 1952)[1] is a Canadian artist best known for his large abstract sculptures made from industrial materials.
In 1979 Macklin travelled to England to study advanced sculpture at St. Martin's School of Art in London.
Ken Macklin's sculptures can be found in the civic art collections of St. Albert, Edmonton and Calgary; at the Catalunya Institute of Contemporary Art, Barcelona; Lehigh Valley Hospital, Pennsylvania; Lock Haven University, Pennsylvania; and the Robert T. Webb Sculpture Garden, Dalton, Georgia.
Clement Greenberg reportedly hailed his large steel sculpture "Simoon" a "masterpiece".
[7] According to Terry Fenton, " Macklin's extraordinary ability to build overall configurations from side-by-side attachments may account for both his poetry and mastery of scale.
