Lyse LEMIEUX

Lyse Lemieux’s interdisciplinary practice has focused on drawing and also includes sculpture, painting, and installation. In recent years Lemieux has expanded her practice to include outdoor large scale Public Art with projects that consider the physical, emotional and communal environments these spaces offer. Through considerations of process and materiality her work continues to explore the space between abstraction and representation, while maintaining a strong connection to the human and sometimes not so human figure.

Originally from Ottawa, Lyse Lemieux attended the University of Ottawa and graduated with a BFA from the University of British-Columbia. She has exhibited nationally and internationally including the Canadian Cultural Centre in Rome, the Vancouver Art Gallery, Oakville Galleries, Richmond Art Gallery, Trépanier-Baer Gallery in Calgary, Katzman Contemporary, Toronto; Wil Aballe Art projects, SFU Gallery, and, the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. Lemieux has been awarded grants from the BC Arts Council, the Canada Council and is recipient of the 2017 VIVA AWARD granted annually by the Jack and Doris Shadbolt Foundation for the Visual Arts.
