Signe solaire

Things to do at the Parc Public Art

Designed by Jean Le Fébure for Canada's Centennial exhibition in Toronto in 1967, the work was later loaned to the Man and His World exhibition. This sculpture is one of the few sculptural works by this artist who was primarily known as a painter and muralist.

In collaboration with a team of chemists at the Saclay nuclear centre in France, Le Fébure designed a new fibreglass-based material into which he amalgamated aggregates of stone and metal with epoxy and polyesters.

The artist concocted Signe solaire with this material by adding bronze filings. The work is designed to reflect the reality of a contemporary world through the use of cutting-edge production techniques.


Details

Materials Steel, concrete, fibre-glass, epoxy resin and bronze filings
Dimensions 277 x 330 x 106.5 cm

Two STM shuttles provide a connection between the Jean-Drapeau subway station and various attractions:
