Tina Cartier

Artist represented by L'Original.

Visual artist from Montreal, inspired by street art, she works with a variety of techniques and mediums, combining imagery and graffiti. She explores three-dimensionality in her works to bring them to life. She uses artistic language as an expression, unafraid to dare, and she creates dynamic pieces of art. Dealing with provocative, assumed and sensual female portraits. She plays with the idea of redefining women's roles in today's society. The woman sees the woman without restraint, and why not do it: “like the boys.” She is inspired by street art, a style that allows her a certain vulgarity and delinquency, forgetting the pure, the beautiful and the clean. Tina Cartier works with multiple techniques: collages, stencils, prints and exploits several mediums: paint, pastel, pencil, ink, aerosol… She pushes her ideas even further by integrating three-dimensional elements. Her works overflow, are alive, and offer a vibrant dialogue. She advocates a very vibrant colour palette for the eye. Her paintings are a projection of her personality and her energy.
