Sandra Chevrier’s “Cages and the Shadow of the Colors.”

Currently on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist Sandra Chevrier’s must see solo exhibition, “Cages and the Shadow of the Colors.”

The Montréal-based Canadian artist creates work that explore identity as a locus of competing imperatives and complex contradictions. Drawing parallels between the assumed invulnerability of the superhero and the impossible demands placed upon the contemporary individual, Chevrier creates literal and metaphoric masks by combining comic book imagery assembled from found and imagined sources. Her dystopian spin on the iconic figure of the superhero looks to reveal the flaws in the staged extroversion of the superficial veneer.

The artist examines gender identities and roles, exhibiting a male-dominated world where Chevrier's subjects denounce the role given to the female counterpart therein, refusing to play the part of seducer or victim. In the greater body of Chevrier's work, the images represented range from scenes of conflict, triumph and defeat. They delve into social limitations, which corrupt what truly is beautiful and lock women into prisons of highly-codified and narrow identities. In this, her subjects become nothing short of superheroines.

Chevrier paints masterfully detailed portraiture, making her women seemingly emerge from a surreal world, onto the canvas, wherein a dance is performed between reality and imagination, truth and deception. She chooses to highlight the fragility of the superhero, their struggles and weaknesses, and exposes the humanity within the superhuman. Despite all the playfulness of the superhero trope, she emphasized that superheroes are also fragile, all merely human men and women, all entitled to our flaws and errors.

“To paint is to play with colors, to let them dance with each other, to intertwine to become one or more, an infinite chromatic circle. To paint is to take everything that nature offers us and make it yours. All those hues that are only available to us because our eyes and brain work together to translate light into color. An apple is not red. Color exists only in the mind of the beholder.”

Ever inspired by color and its influence, Chevrier has incorporated color shading into her reference photoshoots over the last couple years, playing with blues, ambers, yellows, and reds on the skin. She has found each one tells a different story and embraces that in this new body of work.

"To me, art is not only a way of expression; it’s a language in itself. It is the liberation of something that I hold inside. When I was younger, I used it as a release just like one would use a diary. Now, it is a part of my everyday life - it has become a need, a drug.” ~ Sandra Chevrier

"La Cage a L’Unisson” by Sandra Chevrier, 2020

Arty-Fact: When asked what qualities or adjectives best describe her as an individual she replied:

"I am so many things and I think in certain ways I am; like my work: a Dichotomy. I am strong but also scared of everything and anxious. I am determined and efficient but emotional and shy. I am a dreamer and passionate but I am also organized, independent, and always on time. I crave Solitude but cannot live without laughter and cuddles. It’s so hard for me to trust but when I let you in, I give you all. I am patient and impatient. I am proud of myself but also am my worst enemy. I am Fire, but I can be cold as ice. A Fragile Wolf… The beauty and the beast, I am my own poison and also my own cure."
