DESCRIPTION DE L'OEUVRE

L’œuvre est située dans le parc du Mont-Royal, près de la Maison Smith. Elle se compose d’un socle en béton armé sur lequel repose une forme sculptée monolithique en calcaire épousant des formes géométriques courbes et angulaires.

L’œuvre de Pillhofer, issue du cubisme, est une abstraction géométrique aux surfaces texturées de sillons. Il en émane tant humilité que franchise, recueillement et force. Pillhofer remet en question le plan confrontant la figuration sans, toutefois, y être opposé.

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

The artwork is situated in Mount Royal Park, near Smith House. It is composed of a reinforced-concrete base upon which sits a monolithic sculpted limestone form combining curved and angular geometric shapes.

Pillhofer’s artwork, influenced by cubism, is a geometric abstraction with furrowed surfaces. It gives a sense of both humility and freedom, gathering and strength. Pillhofer challenges the plan confronting figuration, but without opposing it.
