Le baiser

"Anxiety is not one of my concerns. When I create, I can stay for weeks and months in direct contact with my work. I don't see myself working on morbid themes, because my life would be hell. All my work consists in finding the code that transforms the library of personal emotions into figures of joy."- Gérard Bélanger, quote taken from: Rens, J.-G. (1997). Gérard Bélanger: between the fall and the Balance Life of the Arts, 40(166), 46–47. ( Translation from French) 

In 1987, he was the initiator of the Inverness Art Foundry project, bronze revealing in him a deep desire for communication with his contemporaries and future generations. He has exhibited paintings and sculptures throughout Quebec as well as in Vancouver, the Bahamas and Tokyo. He has also carried out numerous projects to integrate arts and architecture, including the doors of the Inverness Bronze Museum and the Garden of the Hôtel de ville de Québec.

He created bronze figures with an airy appearance, curved shapes, whose body volume is put forward. He was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2000.
