ST-JACQUES, Luc (1959)

Luc St-Jacques holds a Certificate in printed artwork (engraving) and a BFA with a concentration in education. After joining the Regroupement des Artistes des Cantons de l’Est (RACE) in 1985, he served as the coordinator of Galerie Horace from 1988 to 1993, then as its president until 1996. In 2002, he received the Prix du Conseil des arts et des lettres in visual arts for the Estrie region. His installations combine traditional (drawing, painting, sculpture) and non-traditional techniques (photography, video): he puts together events while strolling through nature and in the city that encourage the public to learn more about contemporary art. Whether he arranges small objects in situ by the river or creates edible sculptures, all of nature serves as his open-air studio as well as an integral part of his work.
