Jennifer Lefort explores contrast, space and the use of colour through abstract painting and sculpture. She deftly probes the coexistence and codependence of formalism and expressionism, color field and pattern, structure and disorder, depth and flatness, and failure, accidents and intuition.
About Jennifer Lefort
Jennifer Lefort explores contrast, space and the use of colour through abstract painting and sculpture. She deftly probes the coexistence and codependence of formalism and expressionism, color field and pattern, structure and disorder, depth and flatness, and failure, accidents and intuition. Her practice garnered her the prestigious Joseph Plaskett Foundation Award in painting. In recent years she has shown her work in several solo and group shows in Canada and internationally.
Of significant note are solo presentations at the New York and Basel VOLTA fairs, a temporary public artwork commission for the MACL (museum) as well as solo exhibitions with Patrick Mikhail Gallery in Montreal and at the Galerie UQO (institutional) in Gatineau. The artist has upcoming plans for exhibitions in Miami, Montreal and Los Angeles in 2017.
