Michael Belmore RCA (born 1971) is a Canadian sculptor of Anishinaabe descent who works primarily in resistant stone, copper and other metals.
Working in resistant stone, copper and other metals, Belmore's process is intricate and time-consuming.
Given his deliberate and thoughtful pace, his sculptures and installations are founded on a deep understanding of the qualities – physical and symbolic – of the materials.
"[7] In 2023, Belmore was commissioned to create a 2.7 m (8.9 ft) high sculpture at the Gordie Howe International Bridge, with the work recognizing and celebrating First Nations.
[8][9] The sculpture of tree bark, visible as traffic enters and leaves Canada, was installed in October 2024.
