Pierre Bourgault, two-part corporate commissioned aluminum, "The fox, which way will it gallop", 2008. Appraised value $246,000 CA. Dimensions, 23"x 16" x 9" feet. Together with a wall of words, cut out iron script. The St. Lawrence River, nature, the immensity of the territory, this is where the essence of the work of Pierre Bourgault has been drawn, who has been transposing their poetry into his artistic installations for more than 50 years. More than sources of inspiration, these creative partners will also have shaped his life. Navigator and committed artist, strongly rooted in his community of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli (Province of QC), where he was born and still lives, the sculptor celebrates the importance of anchoring in the territory, from which stems a singular work, which brings to both its signature and that of the nature that surrounds it. Nevertheless, with Pierre Bourgault, anchoring does not mean closing off from the world and withdrawing into oneself, quite the contrary. According to him, art does not have to be constrained by borders, "culture and poetry are for everyone".
