About the Item
Engaging and playful, Quebec sculptor Paul Duval’s artwork often contemplates the idea of balance and imbalance. ‘Desequilibre’ in French actually means ‘unbalance.’
Here a figure stands, legs set apart and arms out as if trying to maintain balance within a large circle. Cast in aluminum, the finish is both shiny and highly textured. Is this yet another clever social comment on the universal quest to find balance in our lives?
“The representation of the body is the basis of my artistic approach. I sculpt in order to materialize the fantasy world within me.” Paul Duval
He 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, and 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.

"For several years I opted to work in bronze, the knowledge of which I acquired in Africa, but I now use pulp as it allows me the pleasure and latitude of creating and setting free my inspiration. The paper stock is applied in layers, so I can work on the evolution of several of my pieces simultaneously. An addition of coloured paper sometimes enhances the gray of my favourite material. This medium brings out attitudes, emotions, group relations or even wounds." - Paul Duval
