Prou (Lucien-Carol Proulx) est un sculpteur sur bois en et en techniques mixtes. Il
demeure à Cap-Santé près de la ville de Québec.

De 1973 à 1985, diplômé en techniques de présentation, il travaille d’abord comme
décorateur étalagiste pour des entreprises de décorations et poursuit ensuite à son
compte comme travailleur autonome pour plusieurs magasins et centres d’achats.

Toute sa vie, il s’intéresse fortement à la création sculpturale. Féru de sciences sociales,
d'histoire et d'art, il voyage beaucoup en Europe mais surtout en France et en Italie. Ses
itinéraires incluent des visites de musées, de lieux marqués par l'histoire mais surtout la
visite d'ateliers d'artistes contemporains. Mais c’est en 2018, à Joucas près d’Avignon,
qu’il visite l’atelier des sculpteurs Mieke Heybroek et Ulysse Plaud. Cette visite renforce
sa détermination d’être sculpteur en technique mixte, renforce sa volonté de développer
son style et sa liberté de créer autrement.

Peu après, il devient l’élève du célèbre sculpteur québécois Fabien Pagé, reconnu par
ses pairs comme un maître sculpteur, un expert en restauration d'œuvres religieuses
et patrimoniales. Sous son mentorat et une collaboration qui dure maintenant près de 8 ans ,
Prou développe les techniques de la sculpture sur bois et développe ses styles
(symboliques et abstraits) et sa singularité artistique.

Prou (Lucien-Carol Proulx) is a wood sculptor and mixed media artist. He

lives in Cap-Santé near Quebec City.

From 1973 to 1985, after graduating with a degree in presentation techniques, he first worked as a

window dresser for decoration companies and then went on to work on his own

account as a freelancer for several stores and shopping centers.

Throughout his life, he has been deeply interested in sculptural creation. Passionate about social sciences,

history, and art, he has traveled extensively in Europe, particularly in France and Italy. His

itineraries include visits to museums, places marked by history, and, above all,

visits to contemporary artists' studios. But it was in 2018, in Joucas near Avignon,

that he visited the studio of sculptors Mieke Heybroek and Ulysse Plaud. This visit reinforced

his determination to become a mixed-media sculptor and strengthened his desire to develop

his own style and freedom to create differently.

Shortly thereafter, he became a student of the renowned Quebec sculptor Fabien Pagé, recognized by

his peers as a master sculptor and an expert in the restoration of religious

and heritage works. Under his mentorship and in a collaboration that has now lasted nearly eight years,

Prou has developed woodcarving techniques and refined his styles

(symbolic and abstract) and his artistic uniqueness.
