Looking Up From the Ground

Robert Roussil, a major figure in Quebec sculpture, marked art history with his bold works and commitment to freedom of expression, yet his legacy has faded into oblivion since his 2013 death. Reviving his memory, the exploration delves into his visionary art and philosophy through archival montages and career-spanning interviews. It traces his path from exile in France to life in his mill at Tourrettes-sur-Loup in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, where he crafted his core oeuvre, opening doors to his home and studio while spotlighting his enduring sculptures in Montreal.
