About the Item
A polished aluminum sphere sits artfully balanced between two rust-coloured and silver cubes in this dynamic modern tabletop sculpture by Philippe Pallafray. ‘Equilibre’ means ‘balance’ in French. The Quebec artist uses industrial metal components—that he cuts, shapes, folds, and welds to create work designed to represent the duality of nature and the industrial world. One in a series of ten.
“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.

Philippe Pallafray
Philippe Pallafray is a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada. He worked for 15 years in fine arts in France before immigrating to Canada. In 2005, he established a studio on Île d'Orléans, Québec. Pallafray integrates polished stainless steel with natural and man-made materials to create provocative indoor and outdoor sculptures. His work is designed to represent the duality of nature and the industrial world.
“What is removed from the sculptures, the voluntary emptiness, recalls the ephemeral and fragile nature of life,” Pallafray has said.
Pallafray has exhibited in the U.S., France and Canada at the John B. Aird Gallery, the Artist Project Toronto, Alliance Française de Toronto and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. In 2016, he was artist-in-residence at Saint-Georges de Beauce, where he was commissioned to create the sculpture Aquagraphie. Pallafray’s work is held in private and public collections in North America and France.
