Claude Millette attended the École de sculpture in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli and completed welding apprenticeships with Jordi Bonet (1977) and Robert Poulin (1979). His extensive résumé includes several grants and a considerable number of exhibitions, and his sculptures can be found in museum collections and public institutions. His metal works (steel, stainless steel and bronze) seek to impart sensuality to a crude and daunting material through the heat that enables it to be handled. Neither strictly abstract nor figurative, his at once organic and geometric sculptures create tension between rigidity and movement, solidity and suppleness.
