He has had numerous solo exhibitions and his works are in major collections, including the Canada Council for the Arts Art Bank, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Montréal Museum of Fine Art, and the Fonds national d’art contemporain de France.

Artwork description
The work is composed of two light boxes built in aluminum. Cutouts in the panels are reminiscent of plant forms. At night, they let a LED light through, which changes color according to a pre-programmed cycle of about twenty minutes. These colors that blend into each other are an interpretation of the cycle of the seasons.
