Another World Minor I

About Another World Minor I

This contemporary indoor metal sculpture was hand forged by Philippe Pallafray.

The provocative abstract work of Philippe Pallafray has found an international audience. The Quebec based artist has developed a distinctive visual aesthetic that uses bold geometric forms in industrial materials and marries them with organic shapes.
This piece is made from aluminum and natural stone.
Two rugged chunks of gray stone are attached at either end of a dramatically angled rectangular patinated beam. In this new series, Pallafray appears to be playing with our perception of balance.

“I use industrial steel components that I shape, cut into sheets, fold, weld, and patinate. I use certain mobile components so my pieces offer change from different angles. I also leave room for empty space – like a vacuum, evoking disappearance, absence, and loss. The changing elements and empty spaces in my pieces reference the creative force of our perpetually evolving societies.” Philippe Pallafray
