Christine Gagnon is a Montrealer. She studied music as a child and very young showed interest in dance and visual arts. She has been a professional contemporary dancer from 1978 to 1992, studied dance at Université of Quebec in Montreal from 1988 to 1992. She discovered watercolor in 1990, studied ceramics at Studio Accacia with Vera Vicente in Montreal from 2002 to 2007 and in 2006 chose oil painting to complement watercolor. Word from the artist ''My passions are movement, color, rythm and emotions. My artwork is parallel , complementary and bipolar. I like the contrast of the density and the relief of my oil painting and the delicacy of the fascinating transparency of the water medium. My aim is to evocate states of being, emotions, by playing with colors and movement.'' |
