ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The neighborhood where I was born is completely changed today. Split into two parts very distinct from each other. On the one hand, we can see the harmful effects of rapid gentrification... Housing not at all affordable, property even less accessible... Leaving all the room for crooked owners who only see the realization of profit by selling this to ever more foreign interests, who care nothing about the whole community aspect. The other side of the neighborhood, the one where I was born, is even more dilapidated than it was... Left to its sad fate. an almost abandoned neighborhood whose existence no one remembers anymore and the people who remained there are still 100 times more plunged into a state of extreme precariousness... All this against the backdrop of a provincial government which completely denies a housing crisis exacerbated throughout its territory. Same government which denies ambient systemic racism and which struggles to recognize the greater precariousness of the status of women. Same government that doesn't care about the workers of its entire health network and its education network. But everything is fine in Quebec.

Multidisciplinary artist Bent was born in Montreal’s Southwest Borough in 1975. An autodidact, he never studied art in an institution and he happily sees himself as an anti-academic artist. His influences are as wide as a 1000 colours you might place on a palette at the same time. From Pollock to Basquiat, via Asger Jorn, Jacqueline De Jong, Jeppesen Victor Martin or Gil Joseph Wolman, the painter Bent is tries his best to create visual reflections that can disturb life. Since 2004, he has had over 10 solo exhibitions and participated in 7 group art shows. He loves to travel and he sometimes creates work abroad that he finishes in the comfort of his workshop in his garage in Montreal.
