亞歷克斯 · 帕倫斯基（Alex Palenski）是一位雕塑家，他在巴黎和諾曼底兩地生活和工作。他以建築工人的精神和對金屬原料的掌握，創作了”可動雕塑”，其優美的結構抓住了空氣和光線的流動。藝術家主要研究金屬原料的可塑性，就像鍛金工匠一般地，創造以獨特的曲線和充滿張力的體積形式 ，不斷地保持著結構的輕巧，精緻和堅固的藝術詞彙。而結果是驚人的，並且獨一無二無法模仿。 他的作品已被世界各地藏家廣泛收藏，也多次與紐約，巴黎，日內瓦的名室內設計師多次合作。
Alex Palenski is a sculptor who lives and works between Paris and Normandy. With a builder spirit and a mastery of direct metal, he creates mobile sculptures, graceful compositions that capture the movements of air and light. Working mainly on the plasticity of metals, he has developed his own vocabulary of forms in curved and tense volumes that he works like a goldsmith. Like interior jewelry, his precious and delicate sculptures are all unique stamped pieces. The result is great that is totally unique and impossible to imitate. One piece after another, Alex keeps mixing lightness, delicacy and solidity of the structures. A prowess he now carries out on other materials.
His works are in private collections all over the globe : New York, Rio, Moscow, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beyrouth, Geneva, London… and he has worked in collaboration with renowed interior architects in Paris, Geneva and New York.
透過一篇網路媒體訪談，讓我們更深刻認識這位優秀的年輕藝術家
Through an interview on The Sociality Family, let us know more about this excellent young artist ( https://www.thesocialitefamily.com/en/blog/alex-palenski-and-flora-mitjavile-artists/ )
Alex, why did you choose to work on mobiles?
I fell in love with steel first when I was a child, but it took me a long time before getting to know this material. It seemed so hard to handle. I was trained on the job and I had to develop my own techniques and get round my gaps so I could find my style. What I’ve always loved with this material have been the mix of lightness, delicacy, and the solidity of structures. The mobile is the top of this pyramid. The technique of direct steel and the construction of mobiles spoke to me straight away: balances, levers, masses… It’s all very natural to me!
What’s the manufacturing process of your works?
For the table and floor mobiles, there is the whole work on the base, which I do in Normandy in the family workshop. There, welding torches, anvils, hammers and welding reign: there is a lot of noise, sparks and dust… In Paris, I make all the mobile parts. There, everything is quiet, the stools (files, wire cutters) are manual, the radio is playing softly. The atmosphere is perfect for this meticulous work.
What do you like best in your work? Can you tell us about your daily life?
It’s actually very simple. I feel exactly the same as when I was playing Lego when I was a child: some sort of quiet excitement that keeps me focused and make me daydream.
Who inspires you most?
The artists working with metal such as Berto Lardera, Marino di Teana, Philippe Hiquily and, in general, Lygia Clark, Barbara Hepworth but also Bob Dylan – not only for his sculptural works!
