Still in the early stages of her painting career, Canadian artist Serena Beaulieu is quickly gaining recognition for her skilled and considered art practice. Graduating in 2017 with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Concordia University, Montreal, Beaulieu quickly earned representation with one of Canada’s most prestigious commercial art spaces, Galerie Rene Blouin, Montreal. She was also recently included in a group exhibition at Division Gallery, Toronto, a collaboration between Division and Rene Blouin.
Serena Beaulieu investigates the effects of color and form on visual perception. Through a skillful execution of clean handprinted lines, bold use of colour and simplistic geometric constructions, she merges her strong interest in formalism with an architectural style. Beaulieu is informed by her own inner-city surroundings, experimenting with scale and depth to emphasize the three dimensionality of her forms. Her paintings are paired with a collection of works on paper that she describes as a methodology of her visual language.
