The artist
Martin Giasson
Saint-Jean-Port-Joli
I grew up with two uncles who were sculptors and passed their passion on to me. In 1967 I made my first wood carving. Then, in 1973 I started practising the art professionally. I describe myself as an artisan rather than an artist.
I’ve had the chance to work with great figures of my region and learn from each of them. For nine years, I spent my summers with Antoine Bérubé. It was my school of sculpture. I spent the following summers with Jacques and André-Médard Bourgault, with whom I learned a lot. Later in my career, I exhibited in Rimouski, Québec and Victoriaville.
To me, transforming wood is a privilege. Working and creating something from a tree… it’s fascinating! I believe that the revival of sculpture in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli is important so that this art does not disappear.
