After Rain - modern, abstract, contemporary, painted steel, outdoor sculpture

2022

About the Item

This modern contemporary outdoor sculpture is forged from steel in an abstract form. The vivid colours and dynamic form of Philippe Pallafray’s ‘After Rain’ metal sculpture marries industrial materials with shapes inspired by nature. Each cylinder of this gorgeous pop art piece, hand forged in steel (20 cylinders in all) radiates like a flower from the open center. The oval tips of each cylinder are painted in bright yellow, lime-green, red, purple and orange. This piece is available by commission, please allow 6 - 8 weeks upon completion. “What is removed from the sculptures, the voluntary emptiness, recalls the ephemeral and fragile nature of life.” Philippe Pallafray Philippe Pallafray is a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada and of the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec. Born in France, he emigrated to Canada ten years ago and currently lives in Ile d’Orléans, Québec. He uses steel and stainless steel that he cuts, shapes, folds, and welds. 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. Philippe Pallafray is represented exclusively by the Oeno Gallery.

'Untitled Assemblage #S3-23', by John Wolfe, Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
John Wolfe's Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture, "Untitled Assemblage #S 3-23" brings together wood, steel, ceramic elements, and acrylic paint. The warm colors of the wood and painted ceramic elements soften the feel of the rectilinear arrangement. The shallow depth of the work gives the sculpture a kind of "drawing" quality while the shadows it casts lend a more expansive feel. The heavy, dark wood base anchors all aspects of the work in place. This work is the perfect tabletop piece. It's large enough to command attention, but also subtle in its open framework arrangement. John Wolfe was born in Vernon...
