Pascal Paquette

Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes

Pascal Paquette is a Toronto-based artist. His practice places him literally and metaphorically outside and inside the mainstream art world by combining alternative practices of graffiti writing and street art with contemporary painting and site-specific or geographically dependent installations. He has spent the last decade traversing the contemporary art scene, while earning and expanding on his graffiti writing practice under the pseudonym Mon Petit Chou. Paquette’s thematic interests interrogate the transformation of culture that occurs when two or more economic, social or cultural realities collide. His work has been widely exhibited, including a recent show at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Young Gallery.
