Sylvain Potvin holds a BA in visual arts (1978). In addition to small-format stone sculptures, he creates installations and monumental abstract pieces for public spaces. These have included Les souvenirs at the Centre d’interprétation du granit in Stanstead (2006); Ce n’est pas la mer à boire at the Domaine des Côtes d’ardoise vineyard in Dunham (2008); and three in situ sculptures at the Centre d’art contemporain de Montpellier as part of the exhibitions Recycl’art: La langue de bois (2006), Puis-je ? (2008) and Avertissements de pluies d’abat (2008). In winter 2014, he held a solo exhibition of his latest work entitled Formes endimanchées découvrant l’espace (“shapes discovering space in their Sunday best”) at the Montcalm gallery in Gatineau.
