About the Item

This contemporary indoor sculpture’s geometric steel form is coated in bright white. Quebec artist Claude Millette has received international acclaim for his striking minimalist modern sculptures. This piece forged from mild steel (iron that has a small percentage of carbon) resembles a stack of ten tumbling cubes in different sizes. Given the cubes’ precarious angles the ‘totem’ appears to defy gravity. The bright, glossy white powder-coated finish accentuates the clean form. Millette is known for his imaginative abstract work that often challenges the viewer’s perception of balance and imbalance. “Art is a universal language. And in this way, we can touch everyone in the world without words.” Claude Millette Claude Millette was born in Saint-Hyacinthe Quebec. He studied at the École de sculpture de Saint-Jean-Port-Joli and apprenticed with revered sculptors Robert Poulin and Jordi Bonet. Millette's works have been commissioned for many public art projects and have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Mexico.
