Description

Balance

John Ceprano’s balanced rock sculptures at Remic Rapids, Ottawa, stand guard over a sleepy city.

“Gatineau, Quebec resident John Ceprano began the art of rock balance sculpture at Remic Rapids Park in Ottawa in 1985, and received a Canada Council Arts grant for the project in 1989. Since 2000, the National Capital Commission, a federal government agency, has provided an annual contract for the project. Ottawa Rock Art Inc, a non for profit corporation, was established in 2009, mandating the 'rock balanced sculpture project', including performance artists, workshops, lectures, and 'Balanced Art World International' festivals, from 2012 to 2014.

In 2015, he received the 'Award of Excellence' for urban design in public places from the city of Ottawa, and designated an 'Ottawa Ambassador' from Ottawa Tourism in 2016. In 2017, the project was included in 'Canada 150'. Permanent sculptures have been produced since 1999, and his initial discipline in painting has continued since the 1960's. He presently resides in Gatineau, Québec.”
