About
Playing with the interaction between positive and negative space, Canadian artist Virginie Schroeder creates pop art portraits that defy traditional pictorial representation. She works from the ground up, creating her own paint and layering materials until she is able to carve out a colorful, undulating portraits filled with emotion. Her work is playful and poetic, constructing the famous visages of notable public figures. One step closer and her work is abstract. A step back and an iconic likeness appears.

Virginie Schroeder is an innovative artist based in Quebec, Canada. In order to perceive the works, the viewer must feel them, open up all of their senses and live them fully. Her paintings are made to inspire new artistic visions, while impressing their stunning technicality. When a face, an animal, a landscape, or any other subject is evacuated of its linear structure, it acquires a completely different form, a different identity and dimension; a new prestige. One does not recognize it at first sight; it emerges as the very process of observation. It is here that the magic occurs, as the viewer consciously discovers a work of abstract character in vivid color which plays upon the tension between the figurative and the imaginary.
Virginie Schroeder seeks an invented, unstructured, different and yet popular vision, and hopes to awaken our senses in the search for her works. Her one-of-a-kind artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Hong Kong, New York and Los Angeles.
