With his training in painting and sculpture, Jean Pronovost can imbue life into any artistic project. His exceptional ability to work in faux-finis of any kind, the rendering and the care he takes with the finishes, gives every piece a breathtaking realism.

Several faux-finis were created in 2002 for the Cirque du Soleil at the World Beat Center in Montreal. Inside this old building, Jean Pronovost created imitation marble on the columns and painted the mouldings in imitation wood and brass to bring out the height of the room’s ceilings; the effect was achieved by the use of metal powders and patinas. He then created a fresco on the ceiling to complete the look of the room with remarkable results!

sacred link with
the sun.

This alligator cast was created in 2002 using Forton resin saturated with silver powder. To achieve this exacting result the cast was covered with a patina to oxidise the metal pigment. The size of the crocodile’s head is 4" x 6" x 11".
