2016 Canada $20 Geometry In Art - The Maple Leaf Fine Silver (No Tax)

Canadian artist Calder Moore has featured a representation of a Canadian forest in autumn, and thus a background for Canada’s most iconic emblem – The Maple Leaf.  Geometry, technology and art intersect in this depiction of a maple leaf.  Each polygon is made distinct from the other through extraordinary sculpting, cutting-edge technology and advanced finishing techniques. The shapes come together to form the trees on both sides, rich colours create a fading sunset casting a glow in the foliage.  Sculpting, technology and advanced finishing draw the eye to two maples leaves.  One maple leaf falls gently to the ground, and we get a partial underwater glimpse of another maple leaf floating above the rocky riverbed.  This is achieved by overlapping the water’s surface beyond the image field
