Marianne
Chevalier

Marianne Chevalier is a Canadian visual artist and illustrator working in the cultural industry. She holds a master's degree in Visual Arts from Laval University, in Quebec city. Her work has been rewarded with several Canadian, American and European awards. In 2009, during a residency at Glasgow Print Studio in Scotland, her work enters a new cycle. New explorations lead to a more delicate visual signature in terms of textures and patterns, relying on arbitrary constructions in her collages. Since 2005 she collaborates on several theatre, literature, music and museum projects. Among other things, she has produced large format works for the exhibition "Cerveau à la folie", which took place at the Musée de la Civilization de Québec from 2017 to 2018, and "Sœurs et femmes d'exception", presented from 2020 to 2022 at the Marguerite-Bourgeois Museum in Montreal. Marianne Chevalier’s work has been shown in many solo and collective exhibitions, including 3 participations in the Biennale Internationale d'estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières and several exhibitions in Montreal Maison de la Culture’s galleries. In 2011, she was awarded the SSA (Society Of Scottish Artists) prize in Edinburgh, Scotland, for her Master's project “Corneille craquelée". This 20-meter-long artist's book was screen printed in 4 copies, two of which have been acquired by the Library of the National Archives of Quebec. Since 2019, she has been invited to 13 competitions to integrate her art into the architecture of government and official buildings. To date, 6 of her public artworks have been installed. Marianne created a series of 4 printed aluminium art pieces installed in the Villa-Maria metro station in Montreal.
