Best known as a publisher, poet, painter and engraver, Roland Giguère also worked in sculpture. In 1990, for example, he presented Énigmes (“enigmas”) at Galerie Frédéric Palardy (Montreal). The exhibition comprised various three-dimensional objects that he called “assemblages,” both in the Surrealist sense and in that of assembling words in poetry. In 1966, he published a book with Éditions Graph entitled 12 sculptures. Among his numerous accolades were the Governor General’s Award in 1973, the Prix Paul-Émile Borduas in 1982 and the Prix Athanase-David in 1999.
