Canadienne Pierre-Paul Pariseau (who may have the most French name ever) is a mixed media artist whose works have been featured in many publications and other works of print media. But unlike other artists who might have surrealistic collage art, Pariseau’s style is different; it’s not modern, but it’s a far stretch from vintage. His style takes the elements of both to create images that almost look like clip art at times — but in a surprisingly good way, since the results have an aesthetic that other artists aren’t pursuing at all. Pariseau’s works make it seem that like he has experienced technology through its growth process and has slowly adapted his style along with it.

Much of their work unifies their metaphysical interests with their belief that art can positively transform the self and society. They are the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, Interim Managing Editor of South Seattle Emerald, and Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission.

Searching Skies (2017) touches on Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States; with it, they helped co-organize The Seventh Art Stand, a national film and civil rights discussion series against Islamophobia. Reckless Spirits (2022) is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy for a bleak new era, in anticipation of a feature-length project.
