About Grande Couronne

He has been called the ‘Light Sculptor.’ Quebec artist Jean-Pierre Morin is inspired by the light and shapes found in nature. The pleasing organic shape of this gorgeous sculpture—a circular band, is accentuated by the choice of material—highly polished cubes of aluminum that reflect both the landscape and sunlight. Morin is known for creating dynamic, rounded forms in his human scale sculptures that often suggest movement. Couronne means ‘crown’ in French.

“Jean-Pierre Morin has developed art that is simple, original and very poetic. He inhabits the four elements; water, earth, fire and he sculpts the wind.” Isabelle De Mévius, Artistic Director, La Poste Gallery, Montreal
