    Claudie Gagnon

    A self-taught artist, Claudie Gagnon’s practice involves reusing and recycling everyday objects, concepts, and canonical works of art, as well as audio and visual influences that are an integral part of our high and popular culture. Marked by their playfulness and poetry, Gagnon’s multidisciplinary practice takes various forms including installation, tableaux vivants, theatrical interventions, video, photography, “food art,” and more.
