Pierre-Paul Pariseau: “La métamorphose des apparences”

Montreal-based Pierre-Paul Pariseau is an award-winning artist and illustrator who has worked for clients in North America and Europe for many years. He also exhibits his work regularly.

Evoking currents of surrealism and pop art, the creative work of Pariseau invites the viewer into a world of images where everything is possible. Happy coincidences, 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.

This exhibition is an invitation to discover enigmatic mixed media images that captivate and intrigue.

Since 2009, Pierre-Paul Pariseau has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions in North America and Europe. You will find his images in newspapers, magazines, and in a children’s book, as well as on book covers, posters, cards, and CD sleeves. His creativity and unique style have brought him much recognition, notably with prizes from the Society of Illustrators (USA), the Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators, and AOI Images (the best of British contemporary illustration).
