Le Mignonisme by Philippe Katerine

A new sculpture series, Le Mignonisme by Philippe Katerine, is coming to the Quartier des Spectacles and downtown Montreal from May 7 to September 29, 2024. Montrealers, festivalgoers and visitors will see the rosy side of life all summer with this quirky, poetic and funny artistic experience!

The emblematic figures of Mignonisme, the Monsieur Rose (Mr. Pink) sculptures, created by Philippe Katerine, will be seen in iconic indoor and outdoor spaces in the heart of the city (fountains, building façades, rooftops, etc.). In all, 15 monumental sculptures will form a series from Nouveau Centre to the Quartier des Spectacles, including Place des Arts, Complexe Desjardins and Phillips Square. Visitors will be surprised and delighted by the polymorphous candy-pink figures that invite flights of reverie and imagination.

The sculpture series Le Mignonisme by Philippe Katerine is a presentation of the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, with the collaboration of the rentingART agency, which manages international touring for the Mignonisme works. The project is made possible by the financial support and collaboration of the borough of Ville-Marie, Nouveau Centre by Ivanhoé Cambridge, Place des Arts, Complexe Desjardins, Montréal centre-ville and the Ville de Montréal.
