Une paire de flambeaux 1/2 (2022) Textile Art by Luc Pallegoix

Luc Pallegoix was born in 1969 in Besançon, , emigrated to Quebec in 2003, set up his studio in Estrie in 2006, and became Canadian in 2020. In the meantime, he distinguished himself as a Master of Letters, producer in contemporary dance, creator for young people, and photographer of men with deer heads, which earned him considerable fame. Once a sensitive young man from a good family, the artist has always embroidered in the old-fashioned way, samplers, fireplace screens or toe caps. By emigrating, he telescoped his cultures of origin with his received cultures, and just as he hybridized them, they hybridized him. Now, the artist paints and encaustics plywood s like precious woodwork, then pierces them and embroiders them with elements of classical architecture, jewelry, cabinetmaking and more generally ornamentation. On the same principles, he interprets Lunéville lace on wire mesh, which he embroiders with stainless steel washers and fine stone beads using the same technique as sequins on haute couture dresses, to form large interior architecture elements that recreate a space, or even works of art hiding functionalities.

“To make the broad stroke, while I was making small stitches in a distant manor, here men were cutting wood and women were knitting slippers. Now, I embroider wooden boards with drill and Phentex (*). I [DRILL]e, and to tell the truth, it’s one of my ways of weaving my cultures. Ours in fact. » Luc Pallegoix
