Sébastien Gaudette (born 1984) is a native of Montreal, where he lives and works. After obtaining a Bachelor of Fine and Media Arts from Université du Québec à Montréal, he began a serious research on the medium of paper, exploring the multiple forms and facets of its crumpling, of which he produced perfect trompe-l'oeil through drawing, writing and sculpture. His works have been the subject of many solo exhibitions across Quebec, notably at the Museums of Fine Arts of Sherbrooke, the Museum of Fine Arts of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent, the Jonquière National Exhibition Center, the Cirque du Soleil, as well as in several Maison de la culture in Montreal. Gaudette also took part in charitable events, including the auction of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and that of the Musée d'art contemporain des Laurentides. On the international scene, he has been invited to exhibit at the Art Helix Gallery in Brooklyn, in addition to having his work presented at various international fairs, including Art on Paper in Miami, Seattle Art Fair, and the Papier fair in Montreal. The artist has also completed a number of research residencies in Canada and the United States which have allowed him to explore his creative process in different contexts.
