Paul Wallach was born in 1960 in New York. He studied Art at the University of Wisconsin and Applied Arts at the University of Boston. He participated in a residency with Mark di Suvero during the 1990s, before moving to Paris in 1994.

Paul Wallach’s sculptures are composed of very simple materials. They grow from a dynamic point in the wall and spread out in space, as if they were suspended, in order to interact with the surrounding space. After a long observation, materials – entirely heterogeneous such as wood, plaster, cloth, metal or glass – show a certain consistency that creates the unity of the work. These different materials are interlinked and, with their specific weight, generate a delicate balance, arising from the dynamic of gravity. The permanent search for a centre of gravity is a constitutive element of form. None of his sculptures can be understood with just a single glance.
