Church no1 by Valerie LAriviere in Montreal
Church no1
This is a series of colourful houses with graffitis. My sources of inspiration come from the consumerist culture; the symbols and objects we identify with, the characters we build in our heads. Combining real graffitis found all over my hometown with suburban houses, I want to bridge the gap ?between things that are not usually seen in the same environment. As I bring pieces of different stories together, I want to display what we consider right or bad, nice or ugly is only a matter of judgment.

Montreal, CanadaI am a multidisciplinary, french Canadian artist from Montreal. My creative pictorial vision has been shaped through the many forms of art that have influenced me over the years, be it dance, ceramics, sculpture or illustration. I started painting at the age of 10 and spent most of my twenties exploring different medias and techniques, trying to find the right fit for my creativity. Thanks to my training as a graphic artist and studies in fashion design, that gave me additional techniques that have enabled me to polish my aesthetic sense.
At this time, oil on canvas is my medium of choice, but I still like to play with different materials to fuel my creativity. Because of my experiences I am able to fit any style that my customer needs. I am continuously doing original artwork, but a big part of my work is commissioned portraits for my collectors. I have experience in oils and acrylics, as well as murals (interior and exterior). I've also done many chalkboard lettering for bars and restaurants.
