Émile Riopel

A by-product of the combination of suburb, car and in-ground pool, Émile Riopel works and evolves in a suburban setting, and draws his main convictions from it. Interested in the theme of deployment, listening and the playful encounter between art and everyday life, the artist seeks to imagine structures and speculative systems to reflect on the existing capitalist system. Collecting, gleaning and salvaging tint the way he looks at the materialized world around him. His work was presented at Fais-moi l'art in a solo exhibition in summer 2023, and in group shows with Rond-Point center d'artiste, Collège Lionel-Groulx and Fais-moi l'art.

Currently completing a bachelor's degree in visual and media arts, Émile became a member of DARE-DARE in 2024 in order to meet a network of artists and cultural players and to become part of the center's nomadic, participatory and social mission.
