Pascal Blanchet is a Montreal-based multi-media artist whose graphic works include collaborations with The New Yorker, Penguin Books, and The National Post. His depictions of familiar cityscapes and exotic locales recall art deco masterworks but are grounded in a contemporary vision of the world. Blanchet employs a bold colour palette in his images, which is complemented by references to times gone by and results in a combined sense of nostalgia and romance.

This vintage-inspired poster was first created for a 2017 campaign for Bixi and shown across the city at the 514 bicycle docking stations. It shows what the company described at the natural connection between the user-friendly bikes and the city of Montreal. This poster belongs to a series from Blanchet's inaugural Montreal exhibition Autour du Monde/Around the World avec/with Pascal Blanchet.

This poster is in excellent condition and is ready to be framed - a perfect addition to any home or office. less
