Philippe Pallafray
Four Ring Temps Zero Pink - geometric abstract, stainless steel sculpture

2019

About the Item

Hot pink pops from the interior of four intersecting polished stainless-steel rings in this contemporary tabletop sculpture by Quebec artist Philippe Pallafray. His elegant abstract work is designed to represent the duality of nature and the industrial world signified by the use of organic shapes hand-forged from metal. Temps Zero means zero temperature in English, a scientific term that describes the spot on the thermometer where there is no heat or motion. Ironically, temps zero is said to be impossible to reach. “My geometrically shaped sculptures, whose angles and planes resemble Japanese origami, oppose the strength of metal with the fragility of paper." Philippe Pallafray Philippe Pallafray is a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada. 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 as part of group and solo exhibitions. They are also part of public and private collections in Canada, France and the United States.
