NOCTURNE no.2 is the second work of my new ongoing project which I began in September 2019. The project is a reflection on mourning. A difficult step to take in normal times, it is even more difficult to overcome it in these dark and uncertain times. Through this project, I seek to explore this particular luminosity that one perceives only through the nocturnal darkness.
Montreal-based artist Anne-Marie Giroux’s practice focuses on creating highly poetic and conceptual projects through painting, sculpture and installation. The artist seeks to create a correlation between body, material and movement, ”drifting” from shape to colour with fluidity. She earned her BFA at Concordia University in Montreal (Quebec) Canada. Since 2013, she has exhibited in the United States and in Canada. Her work is part of private and public collections, notably at MONA, the Museum of New Art in Detroit (MI) USA. In September 2019, she was one of 52 finalists, selected across Canada for the Salt Spring National Art Prize.
