Boudro, when on a voyage to New York in the 80 s chose a style at the opposite of the spectrum from his early landscapes of the Charlevoix region. His works which would propel to the forefront were the images of Time Square and New York s famous yellow taxis. His influences include Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein among others; he used their innovations in the Pop Art movement to make as it were his mark using pieces of a puzzle, stamps and records.

The very minute details of his art would suggest a computer-generated approach, but all is done by hand.
Boudro demonstrates the rapidity of change in his time, his art in his words reflects a Society of mass consumerism.
