Doyon-Rivest’s art has always found a way to cultivate poetry in the barren ground of business and corporatism. Communication is a pillar of the system in which we live. It shapes our identity. In addition, the channels of communication and the way we use them are constantly evolving. In this context, our duo creates artworks which raise questions by mixing up established codes and shaking up semantic fields.

Their works have been displayed in many solo and group exhibitions in Canada and abroad. They also created public artworks across the Quebec Province. Their works can be found in the permanent and the Prêt d’œuvres d’art collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and BMO Financial Group as well as in a number of corporate and private collections. The duo lives and works in Montreal. Less »
