Vic Cicansky is one of Saskatchewan’s best-known ceramic and bronze sculptors. He was born in Regina on February 12, 1935. He grew up in Regina in an area known affectionately as Garlic Flats. He became a carpenter like his father. He studied in Saskatchewan and later at University of California, Davis Campus. He then taught at Central Collegiate with Mac Hone, and at the University of Regina.

Victor’s work is driven by nature. He is an avid gardener and his love of vegetation informs much of his work. His early work was funky with references to not only vegetation, but outhouses and the labours of humans. As Victor’s work matured, these themes were carried forward with bold textures ranging from the unglazed terracotta to the high gloss finish of a sensuous tomato. In later years, Cicansky added functionality to his work by building furniture. A close examination of Victor’s work reveals a lighthearted humour that sweetens the salty subtexts of the Prairie life cycle.

Cicansky's work is ever-popular and readily recognized as distinctive Saskatchewan art.

Cicansky enjoys universal recognition, receiving the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1997 and Order of Canada in 2009.
