Mario Doucette is an Acadian artist from Moncton, New Brunswick. He is a painter, but he also works with video, digital animation, performance and Super8 film. In 2004, after a residency in the French village of Brouage, he created Histoires, a series of works combining drawing and painting that reflects on the effects of colonialism.
He has been featured in many exhibitions in several Canadian museums and galleries, notably at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum where he was a Sobey Art Award finalist in 2008. He recently contributed work to the Oh Canada exhibition presented at MASS MoCA (USA), in the Galerie de l’UQAM (Montreal) exhibition The Painting Project and in the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) exhibition Shine a Light: Canadian Biennial 2014, and the virtual exhibition 150 Years | 150 Works: Canadian Art as Historical Act. His work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
