Marie-Josée Leroux - Canada

Groups :
- 2022 Artists

Canadian sculptor Marie-Josée Leroux’s works can be found in permanent collections across the world, including in Egypt, China, Costa Rica, and France. Leroux’s sculpting process is one of subtraction: she engages in a dialogue with the uncut stone, allowing her unconscious impulses to guide her. Sculpting with stone and occasionally marble, Leroux’s works feature symbolic characters, and humble, clean lines.

“Dancing Boats”

City of Moncton

2022 Symposium

The sculpture concept is that of boats stacked on top of each other, holding onto a fragile balance. The boat, symbol of exploration, travel, adventure and new projects but also exodus and exile and migrants at sea.
