Sébastien Gaudette – Ephemeral Language

Sébastien Gaudette’s artistic practice centres on paper — a medium he explores through sculpture, installation and drawing. His approach creates a graphic dialogue where the gesture leaves only the imprint of movement, evolving gradually into increasingly complex forms. In doing so, he challenges the materiality of paper and transforms our perception of it. Crumpled, folded or torn, the paper reflects the creative process and becomes the narrative thread that guides his work.

The exhibition unfolds like a striking mise-en-scène, where monumental paper constructions intertwine with metal sculptures and drawings. These temporary installations are assembled directly on-site, allowing them to integrate with the space they inhabit. The opening takes place April 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., in a joint opening with the 44.4 Mother/Artist Collective at City Hall Art Gallery.
