Bio:     

Emerging artist Jennifer Bisson, an Ottawa native, studied Studio Art and Art History at the University of Guelph. She is currently living and working out of Montreal.

Bisson discovered her unique style while in university and quickly realized that her honest, passionate approach to abstraction lent itself to experimentation with multiple mediums and applications. The first of which, developed during her studies, Bisson’s primary focus was natural abstraction, a territory that expressed a " ...voluptuous, moody.. and honest..." composition. An artist in constant evolution, Bisson began to integrate representation into her abstraction. Combining the two distinct techniques, she strives to connect the crispness of environment and the blurred washes of nostalgia.

More recently, the young artist has been focused on developing the second, and darker, application of her work through portraiture. A deeper reflection on self and ego, projection and internalization, disconnection and unity, beauty and abjection, Bisson explores what it means to be self aware. This series of introspective work allows the artist to expand her understanding of the human form and the effect of symbols and icons of femininity, domesticity, sexuality and identity stereotype.
