L’ASPM, a reçu ses Lettres Patentes en 1993. Le but est de promouvoir la sculpture sur pierre et de sensibiliser le public à cette forme d’expression artistique. C’est dans le Studio Créativ’art de St-Basile-le-Grand, sous la direction du peintre et sculpteur Jean-Pierre Neveu, que le premier exécutif fut élu par une douzaine de sculpteurs réunis. Aujourd’hui, la majorité des 45 membres sculpteurs ont leur atelier individuel, par ailleurs quelques uns vont dans un atelier spécialisé. Tous produisent des œuvres originales et professionnelles. Certains travaillent uniquement la pierre, d’autres travaillent aussi le bronze et autres médiums, du miniature au monumental. Chaque année, l’ASPM organise plusieurs expositions pour ses membres selon leur disponibilité. Les membres de l’ASPM participent à différentes expositions individuelles et/ou collectives, à des symposiums et démonstrations non seulement au Québec mais dans d’autres provinces du Canada et même à l’international. Nous espérons vous atteindre par le professionnalisme des œuvres de chacun des sculpteurs et par la sensibilité qui s’en dégagent.

Biscornet, J. Bisson
http://biscornet.ca/
Sculptor, living in the Laurentian hills of northern Quebec Canada. "Part of the Canadian shield, the hard native precambrian stones I work with are some of the oldest on this planet, almost one billion years old. My work in stone and clay , relates mostly to nature that surrounds me. The symbolism and the magic concerned ,are both heritage from my native ancestors," guardians of the eastern door to this continent". In 1991 J.Biscornet was apprentice in life and in stone sculpture to Pierre Székely, Hungarian/French sculptor, from whom he learned this important message: " Always calibrate your work with the joy it creates".
