Interupted Circle, donated by sculptor John Matthews, a former Village of Rockliffe Park resident, was cast in bronze in 1996 for the Village and placed on the lawn to the east of the Community Hall.
John Matthews is a sculptor whose individual style does not fit into an easy definition. He does penetrate the heart of sculptural emotion and escapes the tyranny of worldly appearances. John conveys the spirit of his subject matter rather than natural realistic shapes. He simplifies form almost beyond recognition to convey concentrated emotion, enhancing the aesthetic effects through creative use of his materials. Many of his abstract sculptures are reminiscent of organic and inorganic shapes.
