EDITION 03 : SANTERRE
CARTIER
Montreal, 2017
”If we celebrate today the 375th anniversary of Montreal it is largely thanks to Jacques Cartier and I wanted to represent him mingling with the icons of Montreal. This is how I have juxtaposed 49 Montreal icons which in its whole offers us an anthropomorphic version of Jacques Cartier.”
– Santerre
“Since the first version of Stikki Peaches I dreamed of seeing on any bottle one of my works. The pinnacle for me was the romeo’s gin. I loved the open-mindedness they had, a local product that promotes local artists. It’s all in their honour, and today thanks to them, that I leave a mark in the history of Montreal with the 3rd edition of romeo’s gin for 375th anniversary of the city”
Santerre
Santerre is a Montreal-based artist of international renown whose colourful works consist of superimposed images and ideas infused with allegories, satire and depth – works that can be simultaneously dark and light-hearted. A clever, intuitive blend of surrealism, spirituality and social insight is carefully blended into every figurative expression.
