What followed was a quest to improve the balance, movement, lightness, and curves of his stable and mobile sculptures. Steel can be worked like paper; it is malleable, allowing curves to be created with finesse. Then came aluminum, brass, and gold plating to enrich his art.\n\nAlex Palenski also creates abstract art sculptures in plaster. Metal is always present in the sculpture, but hidden by the softer plaster and the undulating forms of his sculptures. The search for balance is always present, as is the search for poetry.\n\nAlex Palenski's works of art feature in private collections around the world: New York, Rio, Moscow, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beirut, Geneva, London...\n\nEntirely handmade, each piece is unique and stamped.","main_art":"Sculpture"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Alex Palenski - Galerie Durst<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the artworks of Alex Palenski, contemporary sculptor at Galerie Durst.
