The Don Quichote in all of us

Here are the comment of Yves, who bought one of my works at the Toiles Bois, Feux exhibition last October. 
Lucien's sculpture appealed to me as soon as I saw it, and for the following reasons: Like Don Quixote, I believe in the importance of having ideals and dreams in life. What's more, in this sculpture we see two different faces which, for me, represent the inner self and the self we present in society. This work is a constant reminder of who I really am. 

Great work Lucien!

  Yet Africa is Our Land of Origin Linden sculpture, stained pinette and vanish. Linen strings 40.64 x 27.94 x 27.94 cm Homo sapiens left Africa between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago and invaded the rest of the world.    Yet our homeland (Mother Earth) is overexploited, not to say abused.

I was “little grandfather”, “little grandmother”, the path of all rebirths. The truth was in the fat, in the deep sleep, in the strength of the black bear, the power of dreams and spirit.5” Serge Bouchard, anthropologist This is a tribute to my grandmother Agathe dite la Montagnaise. https://www.gallea.ca/fr/artistes/lucien-carol-proulx-1/oeuvre/100962

Ego-system versus Ecosystem

Image
  Ego-system versus ecosystem Pine, lime, cedar, iron, aluminum, stain, varnish paint 132.08 x 45.72 x 30.48 cm. (excluding stand) 2023 Our ego, this self-constructed representation of ourselves through our experiences, tends to identify with our possessions and what we do to obtain them. It has a fundamental thirst for existence and pleasure, which translates into the urge to possess. He says to himself: "The more I possess and the harder I work to achieve it, the more unique, valuable and worthy of recognition I am. To secure this feeling of being more, he sets out to control as much as possible, so as not to be caught off-guard by others and himself. This mode of operation leads to unbridled overactivity, which has an impact on the environment. The personal ego thus becomes part of a universal ego, blind to the destruction it can cause. He unconsciously hopes that nature will continue to comply with this suicidal quest. This work is a portrait of a production system that is...
