Sébastien Lépine is a multi-media artist, designer, and artistic director based in Montreal. His creative pursuits span different mediums including poster art, album artwork, movie posters, video projections for live shows, and music video clips. He has been working as an independent artist since graduating from the graphic design program at Université du Quebec à Montreal in 2000.
Lépine’s poster art is characterized by the use of a technique evocative of photomontage: he overlays images and text, creating a striking interplay of transparencies and negative space. A constant stream of music fuels his creative imagination which translates into the vibrant energy found in his poster art.
Manoir is a 2016 documentary film on the destruction of alternative housing for previous residents of a psychiatric hospital. Martin Fournier and Pier-Luc Latulippe collaborated for the first time together on this project and were awarded the Prix collégial du cinéma québécois in 2017.
This silkscreen poster was hand-printed by the artist himself and is in excellent condition.
