Marc Plamondon Art
Canadian, b. 1948
Strongly marked by the influence of American minimalist art, Plamondon’s playful, abstract sculptures explore positive and negative space.
Marc Plamondon is a self-taught sculptor, born in Quebec City in 1948. He taught political science at the University of Montreal and at UQAM and practiced law for 25 years. Plamondon turned to sculpture after having studied and practiced painting, especially watercolour. He has also practiced photography. Since 2005, he is devoted exclusively to the sculpture of various metals, such as recycled steel, aluminum, and iron.
In 2021, a new $5,000 scholarship was created to encourage the next generation in the arts thanks to the graduate of the Bachelor of Legal Sciences Marc Plamondon. A career lawyer, in 2010 he discovered a passion for metal sculpture. "I wanted to make art and create a personal work", explains the man who was inspired to start by a friend, the sculptor Michel de Broin. Since then, he has set up his first studio and has sold his works in Quebec, Texas, Washington, and Maine.
By creating the Bourse Marc-Plamondon for sculpture and installations, he wishes to support young artists at the start of their careers. "This possibility of devoting my entire life to sculpture could have been my destiny," adds the donor. I created the scholarship somewhat to continue my own youth which was occupied elsewhere.
Marc Plamondon lives and works in Lotbinière, Quebec alongside the Saint-Lawrence River.to

"Queen" African American Female Portrait, Rich Browns & Lavenders, Sculptural
By Henry Heading
Located in Detroit, MI
“Queen” is a stunning iconic portrait of a young woman coming into the full flower of her beauty and developing power. She is set in a sculptural scene of softly rounded forms surrounded by blues, pinks and lavenders along with flowers and a small hummingbird. There is a quiet power and energy in the young woman as she appears to be on the verge of movement. That she is visually beautiful is actually beside the point for Henry has managed to capture in paint the inner beauty flowing from her presence.
Henry says that, “Painting is like breathing for me. I do so daily and appreciate my gift and ability. Perfection drives me as I create each piece. It must be unique. It must stand out, and is not complete until that special quality is achieved in my eyes.”
Being able to create is an essential part of my life. It is an extension of my innermost thoughts and imagination. My primary focus of art is realism--using oils and acrylics. Occasionally, I switch mediums and design and build three dimensional pieces. Working mixed mediums, I use various wood, metal and paint, thus allowing me to achieve the visual effects I am looking for. Many of my pieces have been derived from my attraction to Art Deco and Ethnic designs. I am not satisfied until each piece, regardless of the medium or size, has reached the highest possible level of aesthetic quality and craftsmanship I can give it.
I have enjoyed creating art since childhood. While a student at Martin Luther King Jr. high school in Detroit, I created and presented a portrait to then Mayor Coleman A. Young. A scholarship from Center for Creative Studies now the College for Creative Studies afforded me the opportunity to work towards and receive a BA in Fine Arts. Faculty and graduates of CCS include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock, Jerome Feretti, Kevin Siembieda (writer, designer and publisher of role-playing games), Renee Radell, Philip Pearlstein, Charles McGee (nationally recognized African American sculptor of animal and dancing spirits), Philip Pearlstein (2000 Honorary Doctorate, Modern Realism style), John Louis Krieger (American Modern), William Girard (American Modern), and Charles Culver.
Mr. Heading understands the joy found in art and how it affects a young person's heart. He has shared his love for art as a mentor/teacher at the Virgil L. Carr Center in Detroit, Michigan. Students not only grew in their art experience, but also exhibited at the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
Winning the 2013 MI Great Artist Competition was an honor for Mr. Heading. He is thankful to Park West Gallery owner Albert Scaglione and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson for the opportunity. Mr. Heading has been featured on ASPIRE TV, shows at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the National Conference of Artists and other numerous galleries. In addition, he is a book illustrator. His murals create a beautiful focal point and conversation piece on the walls of homes, churches and health care facilities. His art and furniture is enjoyed and treasured by collectors across the United States and Canada. Kohei Suzuki, the former Mayor of Toyota City, Japan has a box designed by Henry.
His first attempt at mosaic tile was creating a Tiger sculpture to benefit the Detroit Tigers...
