Amelie Guerin was born in Quebec city in 1982. In 2009, she received a master’s degree in Fine Arts from Concordia University and has participated in an exchange program with the Glasgow School of Art. Her work has been shown in several locations in Canada and Europe. Recently she took part in several group exhibitions including Peinture extrême at Joyce Yahouda gallery, H2Eau at Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides in Saint-Jérôme and Desert Island, at Pith gallery, Calgary. She currently lives in Montreal and is working on improving her ability to be a multitasking new mom and improve her English.
Amélie Guérin’s practice is about transforming the mundane and reinventing the wheel. Not without humor, found objects, found images or even sometimes found texts are chosen iintuitively and are used to capture and transform the ordinary into something creative, deceptive or simply awesome. Through found stuffs, paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations, she seeks to create unforeseen circumstances or simply create new meanings. She describes her work as being easy, profound, absurd, amazing, annoying, funny, perfect but questionable.
