DUVAL
Marie-Chloé Duval, hailing from Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada, embarks on a dynamic artistic journey inspired by her academic background in criminology and a fervent passion for art. Her exploration began during her graduate studies, where her thesis served as a springboard for expressing her profound observations on humanity and society. Her artistic evolution saw her transition from photography to painting in 2016, leading her to craft a visual language that captures the essence of contemporary society.
Drawing from her experiences and insights, Duval's art transcends traditional boundaries, situated between figuration and abstraction, stillness and movement. Through deliberate obstruction and omission, she invites viewers to navigate the complexities of our fast-paced world, urging them to question their perceptions and societal roles. With empathy and insight, she unveils the unconscious endeavors and paradoxes often overlooked, challenging the notion of reality and revealing the illusions that shape our understanding.
Duval's artistic endeavors have garnered acclaim, marked by numerous awards and exhibitions worldwide. Her thirst for knowledge and artistic growth has driven her to participate in residencies across Canada and Europe, fostering connections within the artistic community. Currently pursuing her Master's degree in Fine Arts at the New York Studio School, Duval draws inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of human interactions in the bustling metropolis of New York City. Through her art, she offers a diagnosis of who we are collectively, inviting introspection and dialogue on the complexities of contemporary existence.
