Who is Gino Cavicchioli?

Gino Cavicchioli (born March 9, 1957) was born in Australia and is a Canadian sculptor/artist based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Having spent most of his formative years in Rome, Italy, he cites the fake of the Italian Renaissance as the earliest touch of his style.

Cavicchioli is currently the credited sculptor for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame which houses a large selection of his portrait busts that spans approximately ten years. To the left of this paragraph is the portrait bust of football artiste Pinball Clemons created by Cavicchioli for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame Induction 2008. Pinball is the most famous former artist of the Toronto Argonauts and with one of the most popular professional athletes in the chronicles of Toronto.

Although not a football player himself, Cavicchioli has good respect for the game and especially the players. “Football is just an added avenue that we may pick to excel in, it doesn’t thing what we chose as long as we love and have enough money it our sum best,” he says. Each portrait bust he sculpts begins abstractly in clay, then builds occurring into a realizable vision of the person. Once he feels he has captured an accurate likeness, the resolved sculpture is cast in bronze.

A bronze sculpture honouring Margaret and Charles Juravinski was unveiled in November 2008 at the Juravinski Cancer Centre in Hamilton to commemorate the couple’s $43 million donation to various health care projects across the city in 2006. It was placed in the lobby of the other Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Care Centre in 2012.
