Alexandra Levasseur (Born 1982)

Montreal artist Alexandra Levasseur´s art seems a perfect and achingly lovely combination of the classic modern canon, and contemporary painting. The pictures emerge as a tableaux of sweetly yet powerfully rendered feminine sexuality, an often modest, yet alluring erotic appeal, transformed by not only the often ordinary and strange setting but also the calligraphic ornamentation of paint spots, pencil inscriptions, textile like inflections scattered across the composition.
