Clara Cousineau

Clara Cousineau's multidisciplinary work explores the domestic environment and the symbolic charge of the familiar objects that make it up. Blurring the traces of their previous use through strategies of camouflage, diversion, accumulation and repetition, she invests her creations with an aesthetic function and confers them a strangeness that accentuates their singularity. 

Hailing from the City of Québec, Clara Cousineau lives and works in Montreal. She holds a BFA from Concordia University and won the national prize in the BMO 1st Works! competition in 2018. Her work has been presented in several galleries and artist-run centres in Montreal and Toronto. Her work is part of the Claridge Collection as well as several private collections.
