In 2002, AXE fell from the roof of a nine-story building and was hospitalized for the six months following his fall. He underwent several surgeries and had to go through motor rehabilitation treatments. The childlike bandage motif that appears in his work is a euphemistic evocation of this defining period in his life.Although he pursues music and dance with passion, his main activity remains visual art. His cartoonish style, influenced by comic books and the world of graffiti, developed over several decades of dedicated work. He practices mural art, but also paints on canvas and other less conventional surfaces such as pieces of cardboard and other found objects, as well as on digital media. Backed by several collaborations within urban art collectives, he has amassed hundreds of murals and various projects, several of which have left a mark on the collective imagination of Montrealers and tourists from all over the world. His contribution to the city’s cultural heritage is invaluable.
