DRIFT DRIFTING (phase II) is somehow a still life, three-dimensional and fragmented. The work proposes a questioning of human and artistic drift, a topic that I have explored since 2014. It can suggest a loss of control, a deviation or simply express a will to be carried where movement will lead. The work can also refer to a form of self-portrait, that of the artist and her art, adrift.
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.
