Multidisciplinary artist Michel St-Onge (sometimes written as Saint-Onge) creates immense assemblages from an environmentalist standpoint, combining natural materials with manufactured, found and recycled objects. At times, his sculptures take the form of strange, prehistoric beasts – hardy and impassive creatures imagined to have survived throughout the ages, as in Fragments (Pairs) and Phénix (1993). In 1997, in collaboration with Luc Lévesque and James Partaik, he produced an imposing installation entitled Ligne de site III, presented at La Chambre Blanche in Quebec City.
