Claude Millette
Expansion - tall, large, geometric, abstract, corten steel outdoor sculpture

2008

About the Item

Quebec artist Claude Millette is known for his dynamic geometric-shaped outdoor sculptures. With Expansion, two elongated rectangular frames of corten steel sit somewhat askew one atop the other. Three curved 'blades' of steel crowns the piece and reaches towards the sky. Millette’s imaginative abstract work plays with the viewer’s perception of balance and imbalance. It appears as if the strong sculpture might fall. Over time, the steel naturally acquires an attractive rust-coloured patina. “Though staunchly non-figurative, my productions are not strictly abstractions per se: from the moment the gesture expresses an emotion or a reflection, the work is imbued with feeling.” Claude Millette Born in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec Millette studied at the École de sculpture de Saint-Jean-Port-Joli and apprenticed with sculptors Robert Poulin and Jordi Bonet. Millette's works have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions.

  • Probability Deep Blue 2 - abstract, curved, glass, suspended wall sculpture
    By John Paul Robinson
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Canadian artist John Paul Robinson has chosen a deep blue for this elegant glass wall sculpture. Six arched pieces of translucent glass are suspended by fine steel cables…each crisscrossing the other in a graceful composition. His glass work is inspired by nature’s elements—earth, wind, fire and water—all of which sustain life. For Robinson, this piece is symbolic of an iconic physics experiment that explored the dual nature of light. Light exhibits both particle and wave-like behaviour. “It’s important to me that my work be about something. So, I spend a lot of time reading, writing and basically researching ideas (often science-based) and issues that inform my work.” John Paul Robinson He was educated at the Georgian College of Arts and Technology and the Ontario College of Art where he later taught for several years. Robinson is a Fellow of The Creative Glass Center of America, recipient of the Joan Chalmers Glass Award and has twice received the Best Glass Award at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. Robinson has had solo exhibitions in Montreal, Toronto, Palm Beach, Quebec City and Chicago. His works are in corporate, private and public collections throughout North America. Robinson is represented exclusively by Oeno Gallery.
