Alcide Leroux. Sculptor. Decoy Carver. St-Zotique, Quebec. Active mid to late 20th century.
Alcide Leroux made decorative carvings of fish and animals and was a decoy carver. His work was very artistic, well known and sought after. Shown below is a carving of a Grey Fox done in the manner of Albert Demers – the Fox is carved out of a length of hardwood tree or branch; leaving the bark on the part forming the base of the carving. The carving is signed ‘Alcide Leroux’. It doesn’t show well in the picture because of the yellow paint on the wooden base but his mark is visible.
