They produce their work using several different techniques, including photo etching, silkscreen, woodcut, linocut, digital printing and waterless lithography. Some works combine several different techniques.
The art of Desmarteaux (a pseudonym of Étienne Rochon) is stylistically related to comic books and cartooning, but also to graffiti. “As a witness of our times, I convey my perceptions of current events and international conflicts with zesty humour. My drawings sometimes contain references to theatre, like a kind of burlesque fable,” says Desmarteaux. His works have an anti-establishment flavour and are sometimes aggressive but always playful. They have been shown at the 13th Biennale international biennale de la gravure et des nouvelles images at Sarcelles, France and at the 5thBiennale internationale d’estampes de Trois-Rivières. The artist lives and works in Montreal.
Originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Allison Moore has pursued her studies in the visual arts in Montreal, Ecuador and England. She is particularly interested in the connections between the sciences and visual art. Titled “A story of life or what I have been told” her works present fantastical animal creatures in a setting that strangely resembles mythological scenes of animal origins. As a complement to her works on paper, she is also presenting a video clip. Allison Moore is very active in her community and has been involved in many creative projects, primarily working with video and puppet theatre. She lives and works in Montreal.
