STATEMENT

Evoking currents of surrealism and pop art, the creative work of Pariseau invites us into a world of images where everything is possible. Happy coincidences and anecdotal events inspire the artist in a fantasy that translates into images made of vibrant colours, stunning juxtapositions, and hypnotic reveries. His anthropomorphic creations seem to request storytelling, but never impose one. The intensity of his work confuses and attracts in a way that does not dictate to the viewer, but stimulates imagination to explore unrestrained.
