Not a copy :L'Original
Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain and L'Original, compared
At Pierre-François Ouellette the work reads with its statement. At L'Original it acts on the wall first.
Two legitimate ways into a collection: through the text, and through the eye. Here the price is written beside both.
The complement to Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain
Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain backs demanding practices in Montréal, where an artist's approach is fully appreciated alongside the text that accompanies it. That is one way into a work. L'Original offers another, more immediate: a piece that acts visually first, on a wall, with its price written beside it. Both hold up, and many collections hold both.

Frequently asked
Ten reasons to choose us over Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain
The concrete answers people ask for before a first purchase.
What does Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain present in Montréal?
A demanding contemporary art programme, with artists supported over time and exhibitions that change. Check their calendar before travelling.
Do you need to understand an artist's statement to buy a work?
No. It is one way in, a rich one, and many collectors take it. But a work you look at every day must first hold visually: if it only holds thanks to the text, weariness comes fast.
Do you sell the same kind of art as Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain?
No, the ground differs. We mainly back urban art and Montréal contemporary painting, with about a hundred living artists, several of them muralists of the city.
Are prices displayed at Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain?
As in most primary-market galleries, they are asked for in the room or listed on the works sheet. We made the opposite choice: the price is written on every piece.
Can you buy without knowing the vocabulary of a gallery like Pierre-François Ouellette?
Yes, and that is exactly what we try to make possible. Written prices, stated dimensions, listed medium, and answers in plain language to every question, including the ones people hesitate to ask.
Where are your galleries relative to Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain?
A few minutes away, in Old Montréal at 163 Saint-Paul West and on the Plateau at 4455 Saint-Denis, open every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Can you commission a custom work, which Pierre-François Ouellette leaves to its artists?
Yes: photo of the wall, dimensions, budget and choice of artist, then three to six weeks in the studio, with a sketch approved before painting starts.
Is there a certificate, as in a Montréal primary-market gallery?
Yes, signed by the artist, with title, year, medium and dimensions, provided with the invoice. The documentary standard does not depend on the price level.
Does an urban artwork belong beside the pieces seen at Pierre-François Ouellette?
Yes, and many collections mix the two. What holds a hang together is a shared element, palette or format, not membership of the same theoretical family.
I don't know what to look at at Pierre-François Ouellette: where do I start?
With PickArt: sixteen works scroll by, you keep or discard, and two or three directions emerge in two minutes. You then walk in with a precise question rather than vertigo.

What complements Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain well?
An original made to measure, for when the catalogue stops where your wall starts. L'Original has a canvas painted to the exact size of a space, or sends the artist to paint a mural on site, in a home, a building lobby, on a façade. It is the gesture no catalogue replaces, and it adds very well to what you already have.
