Sandra Chevrier

Born in 1983, Sandra Chevrier is a Canadian artist with a degree in visual and media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Since childhood, she has been fascinated by the representation of the eye and the gaze. This continues in her current work, notably in her most acclaimed series, the Cages. Using paint as her preferred medium, and sometimes superimposing collage, the artist develops hyper-realistic portraits of women that explore the contrasts between a fragile reality and the superficiality of imposed ideals. Her work, nourished by pop culture, sometimes dialogues with urban art in the creation of frescoes, notably during a collaboration with Shepard Fairey in 2020 in Austin, Texas. Numerous exhibitions have been devoted to him around the world, including at Hong Kong's Above Second Gallery in 2016, Berlin's Urban Nation Museum in 2017 and the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California in 2018.
