Maude Corriveau
Interested in the action of light on matter, Maude Corriveau transfigures poor and artificial materiality through the practice of drawing. Her approach to still life intervenes in the digital universe to exacerbate certain optical phenomena such as specular shadows and reflections. In her compositions, which are both complex and minimalist, she transforms pictorial space into an ethereal world which plays on the border between illusion and reality, immateriality and matter. Reflecting on the skill of the hand in the context of current art, Corriveau updates hyperrealism not only by imitating a simulated and magnified reality, but by activating the perceptual experience of her works. Thus, hyperdrawing manifests itself as a conceptual process and emerges in spatial exploration through the mediums of sculpture and installation.
Maude Corriveau lives and works in Montreal. She holds a master's degree in visual and media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal (2020). She is a recipient of the Canada Council's Explore and Create grant (2021) and the prestigious Yvonne L. Bombardier Graduate Fellowship in Visual Arts (2019). Her work has been exhibited in Canada (Plural, Foire en art actuel de Québec, Art Toronto, etc.) and in the United States (Future Fair, New-York) and is part of numerous private and corporate collections, such as the Mouvement Desjardins and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ).
