ELISABETH PICARD

born 1981 Saint-Lambert, QC - lives and works in Montréal, QC

​

​

Elisabeth Picard’s practice is rooted in her skillful knowledge of visual arts and fine crafts, enhanced by an innovative approach. Using techniques specific to textile work, she creates structural assemblages of great variety, referring to the architecture of nature’s elements. For her sculptures, installations and commission works, she also uses ordinary, even shunned materials, exploiting their properties to breathe life and poetry into them.

​

Picard holds a Master of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Fiber from Concordia University. For 20 years, she has exhibited in Quebec, Ontario, and internationally (Cuba, France, and Lithuania), and her work has been featured in several publications. She has participated in the Mutek Festival (SAT), the Redbull Music Academy (Phi Centre), Joueuses/Joueurs (Montreal Museum of Fine Arts), the National Biennial of Contemporary Sculpture (Trois-Rivières), the Subtle Technologies Festival (Toronto), and the Banquet du Salon Révélations du Grand Palais (Paris), among others.
