Artist statement
Isabelle Lapierre’s approach involves a plurality of mediums including painting, sculpture, installation, video and performance. This diversity helps her to create bridges between elements of different natures, and to question the sharpness of the boundaries delimiting the components of reality. She is interested in ecology in its broadest sense, which colors her perception of the world and influences her entire creative process. Isabelle sees art as a form of magic that allows her to have a certain effect on reality, the power of which comes from the interaction between her personal power and the agentivity of the things that make up her work.
