Florent Duchesne, based in Montreal, builds sculptures that feel like they were caught mid-gesture. The curves suggest motion, almost weightless, as if shaped by sound or wind. And then you remember the material. Concrete. Solid. Unforgiving. Permanent.

Influenced by the raw charge of punk rock and the hypnotic pulse of rave culture, Duchesne captures that split second between chaos and control. The work hums with rhythm, yet stands immovable. It looks fragile, but it endures.

That tension is the point.

His sculptures quietly challenge perception. What appears fleeting becomes fixed. What feels soft is structurally resolute. Material truth and visual illusion meet somewhere in the middle.
