ABOUT ALICE JARRY

Born in 1980, Alice Jarry works and lives in Montréal, Canada. She is a graduate of the Concordia University Design and Computation Art program. As co-founder of the Montréal based studio Sérigraphie Cinqunquatre, her work has been showcased in more than twenty exhibitions across Canada and the US. Jarry uses a wide variety of media to render her figurative work on paper and wood, including drawing, linocut, painting, digital art and photography which are combined to create multi-layered silkscreens  as original monoprints or large wood panels. Strongly influenced by architecture, urbanism and American folk art, she depicts an imaginary territory where the representation of anecdotes, scènes de genre, consumption goods and urban furniture investigate the relationship that ties people to their physical environment. By using vernacular motifs that carry history and symbolism, Jarry’s work also examines concepts of repetition, sampling and sequencing inherent to the modern world of mechanical reproduction.
