Montreal artist Audrey Paquette newest series "Trouble Makers" is comprised of five playful acrylic paintings depicting children misbehaving. With vibrant colors and retro design, the series is a cheeky look into mischief in the 1990's. With several nods to the era, the artist celebrates her own childhood and honors the joy of youthful rascality. A nostalgic look at the past through adult eyes confirms how greatly these experiences affect our current state; if you're not willing to play, act rowdy and get dirty, you might just miss all the fun. Paquette observes her jubilent past and urges her audience to reflect on their once rapscallion ways.
