Posté par Beauportois le 13/02/2018 19:28:54
Eugène Sioui est un artisan du bois d'Ancienne-Lorette (Village Huron) qui a exercé son art dans les années 30 et 40 notamment. Voici ce qu'en dit le canadien Lyle Elder sur son site consacré à l'art populaire:
"Eugene Sioui made flat-plane carvings of people, always painted. He carved people in traditional Quebec dress and also carvings of indigenous people. He usually signed his work in script on the bottom of the base and he signed most often “E. Sioui. His carvings were often very elegant and well painted. Eugene Sioui’s carvings were sold in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli as well as souvenir shops and galleries throughout Quebec in the 1930’s and ’40’s. Eugene Sioui was an aboriginal Canadian. His tribal affiliation was Huron and he often put that on his mark (see below)."
