In jet black, Quebec artist Phillipe Pallafray’s new contemporary table-top sculpture has a commanding presence. A cluster of six columns sit criss-crossed at opposing angles to one another. The end of each column reveals highly polished aluminum. Pallafray uses industrial components that he cuts, shapes, folds, and welds to create compelling work designed to represent the duality of nature and the industrial world.

“My geometrically shaped sculptures, whose angles and planes resemble Japanese origami, oppose the strength of metal with the fragility of paper.” Phillipe Pallafray

He is a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada. Born in France, he emigrated to Canada ten years ago and currently lives in Ile d’Orléans, Québec. 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.
