About
Éliane Excoffier, a Quebec visual artist based in Sutton, dedicates her practice to contemporary photography. A graduate of the University of Montreal in visual arts and art history, she has been exhibiting in Canada and internationally for over twenty five years. She also extends her practice to public art, creating large-scale works as part of the arts integration program in architecture. Her works are featured in several
private and public collections, including those of the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the National Bank, and the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec.
Artistic Statement
My artistic practice is fundamentally rooted in photography, whose technical and
creative process forms the very foundation of my approach. I cultivate a constant
dialogue between digital technology and traditional analog processes. This hybrid
approach creates a fertile ground for exploration where technical accidents become
sources of discovery and where the constraints of each medium nourish my creativity.
Each of my series is constructed as a staging that is both unique and enigmatic. The meticulous orchestration of settings, lighting, and subjects allows me to create stories in images with multiple readings. The last decade has seen the emergence of a fascination with living things in my work: animals, landscapes, and natural environments now inhabit my artistic research and fuel my creative reflection.
