Born in Sherbrooke in 1970, Jean-Sébastien Denis is a visual artist who lives and works in Montreal and the Eastern Townships. His pictorial and installation works are centred on the movement and instability of things. Evoking the shifting forces of nature, as well as virtual flows and other circulatory spaces structuring the real, his approach is inspired by the chaotic agitation of the world. For some time now, he has been interested in the experience of color and the links between painting, photography and the digital universe.

Represented by Galerie Simon Blais for the past twenty years, he has participated in many group and solo exhibitions in Montreal, Canada and the United States. In 2018, his work was the subject of a retrospective at the Maison de la culture Claude-Léveillée. A solo exhibition at the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke is scheduled for 2026. He has also created a dozen public artworks as part of the arts-in-architecture program, including Prisme for the MUHC (2014) and Kyrielle, for ARTM's SRB-Pie IX kiosks in Montreal and Laval (2022). He also served for several years as a specialist on the committee for the arts in architecture program. Jean-Sébastien Denis holds grants from the CAC and CALQ. His works are part of several public and corporate collections (Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Loto-Québec, Hydro-Québec, National Bank of Canada, Groupe Transcontinental).
