Quebec-based sculptor Paul Duval is known for his expressive, elongated and textured figures.

"The representation of the body is the basis of my artistic approach. I sculpt in order to materialize the fantasy world within me. In creating my characters, I try to capture a movement, posture, gesture or attitude exploiting curves and sometimes voluptuousness. I'm inspired by the harmony of shapes and textures. To achieve this, I explore different materials such as bronze, aluminum, wood, paper pulp and stone. Whenever possible, they come from recycling (waste paper and aluminum plates). I also explore the integration of objects at the end of their functional life span."-Paul Duval
