Monique Fillion

Born in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, Monique Fillion is a multi-disciplinary artist who works with paint, digital photography and video. She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba and has shown her work in Manhattan, New York and in several galleries in Western Canada and three of her paintings are in public collections.

Fillion’s paintings are metaphorical, abstract, and rather meditative. They refer to the vibrant and changing aspect of the relationships between entities. Thin layers of paint are applied with sweeping intent, each brush stroke informing the next, allowing the image to take shape organically.

Her digital images explore how we relate to the objects and places that we inhabit. The photographs are imbued with motion and light. The reverberation of the light traces has a sound-like quality that animates the landscapes and gives voice to the trees.
