A dramatic figure in a bathing costume is perched on a tall stool in this intriguing paper mache sculpture by Paul Duval, titled 'Baigneur' in French, or 'Swimmer' in English. The elongated shapes of the sculpture are reminiscent of the expressive forms used by modernist Alberto Giacometti.

Paul Duval is a member of the Canadian Sculptors Society and of the Conseil de la sculpture du Québec. He studied Monumental Sculpture at Université de Rimouski, casting at Maison des métiers d’art, Québec, with further training in soldering at Cimic, Saint-Georges, Québec. In addition to his full time work as an artist, Duval is Technical Director, Symposium international de la sculpture, Beauce-Art, in Saint Georges De Beauce, Québec.

Duval’s sculptures including commissions are in private and public collections including Collection Héritage, Saint-Georges, Municipalité de Lac-Etchemin and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, Paris, France.
