Sculptor Roland Poulin combines the figurative and the abstract in works illustrating themes of life, love, death and spirituality. Shapes representing tombs, tables and altars are set in compositions that incorporate empty space. Formed from concrete, wood and bronze, Poulin\u2019s work is characterized by its horizontality and weightiness.<\/p>\n

Roland Poulin grew up primarily in Montr\u00e9al, where an encounter with a painting by Borduas provided inspiration. After graduating from Montr\u00e9al\u2019s \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in 1969, Poulin worked as an assistant to Mario Merola. Early in his career, he experimented with the dematerialization movement, but soon felt a desire to portray weight with heavy materials: first concrete, then wood and bronze. A 1972 trip to Germany gave him formative exposure to American Minimalist artists. Later, Poulin made visits to cemeteries in New England and Paris, as well as to an exhibition of Ancient Egyptian sarcophagi in New York. He found in these monuments the sculptural forms, empty spaces and implied human presence that inspired later sculptures.<\/p>\n

Poulin\u2019s early concrete sculptures include\u00a0Within<\/em>. Later works in wood, such as\u00a0Sombre,<\/em>\u00a0illustrate his growing interest in tombs and the night. More recent pieces, such as\u00a0Thresholds<\/em>, are increasingly spiritual and sensual.<\/p>\n

Poulin has taught drawing and sculpture at numerous colleges and universities. Widely exhibited internationally, Poulin is a Governor General’s Award winner and recipient of the Prix Ozias-Leduc, the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award, and the Jean A. Chalmers Award.<\/p>\n
