Artist: Lepine, Sebastien
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.
This poster was produced for the 2017 short film "La Peau Sauvage" by Ariane Louis-Seize-Plouffe, starring Marilyn Castonguay and Alexis Lefebvre. The film follows the story of a quiet and solitary young woman whose life is transformed following her discovery of a baby python in her apartment. Louis-Seize-Plouffe's film was included in the 2016 Official Selection of the Toronto International Film Festival.
This silkscreen poster was hand-printed by the artist himself and is in excellent condition.
