ARTIST STATEMENT
Lise Gravel's work explores the layers of the human experience, particularly women's, and what we carry within us, often unknowingly, from those who came before us: memory, intuition, the pull of something we can't quite name.
Working in mixed media, from drawing and acrylic painting to sculpture, she builds layered works where material and process carry as much meaning as image. Figures, light, and organic forms recur throughout her work, inviting viewers to recognize something of their own experience within it.
ÉNONCÉ DE L’ARTISTE
L'œuvre de Lise Gravel explore les couches de l'expérience humaine, celle des femmes en particulier, et ce que nous portons en nous, souvent sans le savoir, de celles et ceux qui nous ont précédés: la mémoire, l'intuition, cette force qui nous attire vers quelque chose que l'on ne sait pas nommer.
Travaillant en techniques mixtes, du dessin et de la peinture acrylique à la sculpture, elle construit des œuvres en couches où la matière et le processus portent autant de sens que l'image. Figures, lumière et formes organiques reviennent tout au long de son œuvre, invitant le public à reconnaître quelque chose de sa propre expérience.
