SIMON PETEPIECE
Montréal, Québec, Canada - Sculpture, Drawing, Painting - 3rd floor studio
Simon Petepiece is a self-taught artist living in Montreal, QC. Working directly with construction materials and processes, his practice explores how architectural spaces reflect and manifest our cultural beliefs. Creating objects that exist between sculpture and two-dimensional media, he uses ubiquitous materials like drywall and steel studs as both symbolic elements and substrate for drawing and painting. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Galerie Nicolas Robert, Montreal (2024) and Espace Maurice, Montreal (2023). His work can be found in the City of Ottawa Art Collection and he holds a Master’s degree in architecture from Carleton University (2018). simonpetepiece.com
