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.
Critically-acclaimed garage rock group The Black Lips have released eight studio albums over an eighteen year period. Their second studio album "Good Bad Not Evil" was released in 2007 and catapulted the group to fame, notably through their hit single "Veni Vidi Vici". Lépine produced this poster for a 2017 performance by the band at Montreal landmark, the Le Nationale theater.
This silkscreen poster was hand-printed by the artist himself and is in excellent condition.
