Equilibre 2-Tone 1/10

About Equilibre 2-Tone 1/10

A polished aluminum sphere sits artfully balanced between two rust-coloured and silver cubes in this dynamic modern tabletop sculpture by Philippe Pallafray. ‘Equilibre’ means ‘balance’ in French. The Quebec artist uses industrial metal components—that he cuts, shapes, folds, and welds to create work designed to represent the duality of nature and the industrial world. One in a series of ten.

“What is removed from the sculptures, the voluntary emptiness, recalls the ephemeral and fragile nature of life.” Philippe Pallafray

He is a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada and of the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec. Born in France, he emigrated to Canada ten years ago and currently lives in Ile d’Orléans, Québec. He uses steel and stainless steel that he cuts, shapes, folds, and welds. Pallafray's sculptures have been exhibited in Canada and the United States both as part of group and solo exhibitions. They are also part of public and private collections in Canada, France and the United States.
