pierre durette

Originally from Causapscal in the Matapedia Valley, Pierre Durette is a Quebec-based artist with a bachelor's degree in visual and media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal. He gained early recognition during his studies, winning the Grand Prix Albert-Dumouchel in 2004 and the Projet Insertion award from Atelier Graff in 2005.

His work has been exhibited in both Quebec and Ontario, including at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and the Power Plant Gallery in Toronto. His artistic practice combines technical precision with conceptual sensitivity, exploring the relationship between image, memory, and materiality.

In 2009, he received a research and creation grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. He was also awarded the Marcel-Bellerive Excellence Scholarship. Pierre Durette continues to develop a committed and thoughtful practice rooted in the contemporary discourse of print-based art.
