About 10 Cubes Blancs à la Seconde (10 White Cubes Per Second)

This contemporary indoor sculpture’s geometric steel form is coated in bright white.

Quebec artist Claude Millette has received international acclaim for his striking minimalist modern sculptures. This piece forged from mild steel (iron that has a small percentage of carbon) resembles a stack of ten tumbling cubes in different sizes. Given the cubes’ precarious angles the ‘totem’ appears to defy gravity. The bright, glossy white powder-coated finish accentuates the clean form.
Millette is known for his imaginative abstract work that often challenges the viewer’s perception of balance and imbalance.

“Art is a universal language. And in this way, we can touch everyone in the world without words.” Claude Millette
