Profile
MO (alias Monique Crépault) is a multidisciplinary artist who shares her time between Montreal, Quebec, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She holds degrees in Visual Arts, Literature and
Set Design (National Theatre School of Canada).
MO worked many years as a Set Designer, creating many paintings and backdrops for theatre sets, cinema and tv shows, before exploring other creative paths, such as photography, videography, tempera painting, engraving, sculpture and land art installation.
While pursuing a parallel career in print, tv and web medias, as Chief Editor, Journalist, Columnist and Blogger, MO has created egg tempera paintings that has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions in Canadian galleries and museums.
She also produced bronze and ceramic sculptures, as well as diverse land art installations.
As a contemporary figurative painter, MO finds her inspiration in the modern art scene but also among past artists such as Gauguin, Edvard Munch, Sonia Delaunay, Betty Goodwin, Frida Kahlo, Eric Fischl and David Hockney.
Since early, no matter the media, the focus of MO’s work is often the human body, recently culminating in a series of Dancers and Portraits. She had several solo and group shows in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Her artwork is displayed in private and corporate collections around the world. She is represented by Galleria Dante since 2017.
"To paint is a physical action. Just like dancing and singing, it allows us to abandon our beliefs and explore new ones”.
