About Baigneur à pois

Quebec Artist Paul Duval’s series of small figurative tabletop sculptures capture the essence of individual characters. Hand-shaped from wire and paper mache, each character is unique—this piece is a swimmer (baigneur) sporting a red bathing suit adorned with a few white dots (pois). The figure is sitting on a block of wood, hands on his hips, his head turned and held high suggesting an air of confidence.

“This medium brings out attitudes, emotions, group relations or even wounds.” Paul Duval
