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.
"Le Bruit des Arbres" ("The Sound of Trees") is a movie directed by François Péloquin that features seventeen-year-old Jeremie's tension with his father as he loses interest in the forestry business. Their relationship is put to the test when Jeremie's older brother leaves town. For this film, Francois Peloquin was nominated for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vany International Film Festival, the film also being nominated for Best Sound at the Jutra Awards.
