Montreal-based artist Jannick Deslauriers is widely-recognized for her ghost-like sculptures made of delicate fabric. Deslauriers is currently presenting new works at the Art Mûr Montreal spanning life-sized versions of a demolished car, train models, and telephone lines. Each piece is crafted out of transparent textiles such as aluminum mesh, silk, and tulle.

Take a look at the sculptures above and visit Art Mûr Montreal’s official website to learn more. The self-titled show is currently on view up until April 28. For more boundary-pushing artworks, take a look at teamLab’s new 3D installation titled Beyond the Limits which is set to arrive in Paris this May.
