Marie-Claude Pratte’s paintings reflect and denounce society’s ills and fraudulent fronts: “In painting, I aim to transpose actual events into portraits of society and works of modern history.” She creates raw figures inspired by characters from our cities’ streets. At the Darling Foundry, she presents a panorama of Montreal’s own peculiar streets, with its atypical facades and eccentric personalities.
