Eugène

Eugène doesn't travel. He stays put. He holds the fort. A concrete gorilla, cast to last—a work by Laurence Vallières, available exclusively at Maison Brome. Laurence Vallieres, A Montreal-based sculptor, known for my large-scale animal sculptures made from recycled cardboard and other eco-friendly materials. Born in Quebec City, Laurence Vallières has always had a keen interest in the arts, a passion passed down through her family. After studying visual arts in college, she continued her academic studies at Concordia University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in ceramics. After graduating, inspired by street art, Laurence began working with cardboard. Using this affordable and widely available material, Laurence quickly began creating large-scale works, both at home in Montreal and around the world. From the Americas to Asia, via Europe, this Quebec artist never ceases to impress wherever she goes.
