Patrick De Coste : Three paintings
Patrick De Coste is a visual artist based in Toronto
and Lafontaine, Ontario. He studied Fine Arts at Mount Allison University and later
Graduate Studies at OCAD University where he received the President’s Award for
Outstanding Achievement. His interdisciplinary art projects are rooted in Indigenous
identity and colonial first-contacts. DeCoste descends from French settlers and
Mi’kmaw people of Port Royal, Nova Scotia; the earliest Métis people of Canada.
He has exhibited extensively across the country and has received many awards
and reviews. His latest solo exhibition, 13
Moons and a Canoe, opened at J.B.Aird Gallery in Toronto, in 2017, and
later travelled to the Thames Gallery and the Tom Thomson gallery. His next
project is a love story set in Cape Breton in the 1700s.
