About the Item
This contemporary sculpture is forged from stainless steel and designed for the outdoors.
Philippe Pallafray’s ‘Mecanique Celeste’ series of dynamic sculptures play with the concepts of industry and nature. A highly polished stainless-steel ball appears to float above a rectangular pedestal framed by a rust-colored and mirrored form. The ball sits in dramatic contrast to its natural environment and yet also mirrors it back to the viewer through its reflective surface. ‘Rouille’ means rust-colored in English. ‘Mecanique Celeste’ means ‘heavenly mechanics.’
This piece is numbered in an edition of 10 and available by commission. Please allow 4-6 weeks upon completion for delivery.
“I use certain mobile and spherical components so my pieces appear to change when viewed from different angles. The changing elements and empty spaces in my pieces reference the creative force of our perpetually evolving societies.” Philippe Pallafray

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.
