Works by Sylvie Lambert
The paintings and drawings of French-Canadian artist Sylvie Lambert in oil, acrylic, gouache or colored pencils depict the sometimes absurd way of life of our society. Informed by her own, personal experience, first in Canada where she grew up, then in Switzerland, the subjects she addresses touch on habitat, food, artificial and disfigured nature, themes all painted with a flamboyant, chromatic range. In this imaginary world, the boundaries between decor, reality, fantasy and fiction intertwine. A Tower of Babel balances on trees shaped like minced meat, a large, knitted cactus sits, throne- like in a strange, moonlit landscape. Like wordplay, Lambert’s compositions combine improbable elements to create surreal narratives with messages rooted in reality.
