Pierre Bourgault (artist)

[1] In 1996, he received a master's degree in visual arts from Laval University.

His 34-foot-long public sculpture Latitude 51° 27' 50' – Longitude 57° 16' 12' (2007) which distantly suggests the hull of a boat exhibited on the Promenade Samuel-de-Champlain in Quebec City caused controversy.

[1] His exhibitions are named after the sea and the usual (wind, boats) or unusual experiences that he has had with it.

[1] He has exhibited his work in many galleries and museums, including a group show at the Pointe-à-callière, Montréal archaeology and history complex with Gilles Vigneault (1995)[4] and solo shows at Gallery UQAM titled Pierre Bourgault: L'horizontale imaginee (2007)[6] and at the Center d'artistes Vaste et Vague in Carleton-sur-Mer titled Time Tremor (2016).

[7] His sculpture is in such public collections as the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
