Anne-Marie Giroux [GAM] presents her first international solo exhibition entitled FRAGMENTS. For this exhibition, the artist has elaborated a series of digital photographic studies revealing fragments of her most recent work, the installation project DRIFTS DRIFTING PHASE II. One of the particularities of this project comes from a process in which the artist works with oil and other materials in a three-dimensional way, like a raw material specific to sculpture. The ensemble proposes a poetry of colors, forms and combinations that manifest themselves through the particular relationship that Anne-Marie Giroux seeks to establish between the practices of painting, sculpture and installation.
Anne-Marie Giroux is an emerging visual artist living and working in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She received her BFA from Concordia University and is a provincial and national award-winning artist. Her practice focuses on the visual arts, although previously she has worked primarily at the intersection of contemporary dance, performance-sculpture, film and video art. Giroux is interested in poetic expression which, beyond the specificities of pictorial or sculptural work, allows her to lay the foundations for formal explorations and then to transform materials into true visual poetry. At the heart of her artistic research, she is committed to establishing a correlation between – body, material, object, state of being and movement – what she calls the “body-matter”. Her work is in private and public collections, including MONA, Museum of New Art in Detroit. In 2019, she was one of 52 finalists, selected from across Canada, for the biennial SALT SPRING NATIONAL ART PRIZE competition in British Columbia. Since 2013, she has participated in exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Switzerland and South Korea. In August 2021, she was selected “Artist to Watch” by the Berlin-based magazine ARTCONNECT. Anne-Marie Giroux is very pleased to present her first international solo exhibition at the CICA Museum in South Korea.
