2014.13.03Description
Simone Rochon (b. 1983) is a Montreal-based artist working primarily in collage and sculpture. Inspired by architectural forms, she often creates artworks that appear unfinished and strange, creating a sense that the forms are malleable and fluid.
New Line of Gravity (2014) are a series of ink drawing collages. Using both light and shape, Rochon suggests dimensionality and movement. The flowing sheet-like forms appear moulded and transformed by the rigid yellow lines that alter the flow of gravity in the picture plane. Following in pursuit of her investigations into architecture and fluid forms, the shapes are suspended in a boundless void. We are given no indications or references to their scale or proportions, or the source point of the lighting. Instead, all is left ambiguous and uneven.
Rochon received her Masters in Visual and Media Arts from UQAM in Montreal. Her work has been exhibited across Canada including in Toronto at Angell Gallery (2017), in Calgary at Art Commons (2017) and in Montreal at the Maison de la culture Côte-des-Neiges (2016). It can also be found in a number of private and public collections, including the Collection Desjardins d’œuvres d’art, the Prêt d’œuvres d’art collection of the MNBA, the Ville de Montréal and Loto-Québec collection.
