About the Item
Inspired by the heavens, Canadian artist Viktor Mitic has created another captivating contemporary stainless-steel sculpture finished in 24 kt. gold. One of Mitic’s Constellation series, this enigmatic work owes its form to the abstract shape of paint splattering found on the artist’s studio floor. Re-imagined as a 3-D sculpture in two pieces, Caelum’s lustrous mirror-polished gold surface reflects light and its surroundings. The elegant black base — an integral part of the sculpture — represents the vast void of space and the gold stars. Caelum Is named after a constellation first discovered by an 18th-century French astronomer. The shape of the constellation was said to be reminiscent of a sculptor’s chisel. In Latin, the word Caelum means stars or heaven. (3 meters in height)
“Caelum defies gravity, inviting you to witness the celestial dance between ourselves, gold, and the cosmos.” Viktor Mitic
Viktor Mitic is a Canadian artist who was born in Serbia. As a young man, he attended various art schools for classical training in Europe. After immigrating to Canada at age 20, he earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 and took additional studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired paintings, prints and colourful abstract sculptures at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo, The Armory Show in NYC, Art Chicago and Toronto. His work is held in corporate, private, and public collections.

Viktor Mitic
Painter Viktor Mitic is best known for his use of firearms as an artistic tool. Depictions of celebrities and historical figures riddled with bullet holes provocatively reflect on the senselessness of gun violence.
Mitic was born in Belgrade, then part of Yugoslavia and now the capital of Serbia. While in compulsory military service, Mitic came to see the gun as a potential medium for his art. He later moved to Canada, where he graduated with his BFA in 1995 from the University of Toronto. That year, he completed a portrait of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, which he presented in a formal unveiling at the prime minister’s office in Ottawa.
Mitic’s fame grew in 2008 after he displayed his most controversial piece, Hole Jesus, at Trias Gallery in Toronto. It drew widespread media attention. Over the following years, he made more works featuring images of well-known people, shot up with a .22 caliber pistol.
Mitic has participated in exhibitions around the world, including a 2008 show at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo. In 2010, he presented his acclaimed Art or War collection at Gallery Moos in Toronto.
Although he has produced art in other media — including sculptures — his bullet hole paintings remain in demand with collectors. Mitic continues to create art that intrigues and confounds critics and viewers.
