Linda Vachon

Originally from Centre-du-Québec, Linda Vachon is a self-taught artist who has been exploring photography and image processing since the 2000s. The discovery of European affichistes guided his approach incredibly early on. She chooses to work on wood panels, a support that reminds her of the city's palisades covered by the accumulation of posters, an urban landscape that she loves and that inspires.

Moving from digital drawing to print on paper, she works with different mediums such as acrylic, oil and pencil. She also frequently uses photography and digitizes each step of her creative process. The human is her main subject of research. From encounter to encounter, she makes contact with her colors and shades. She describes her work as “a long conversation between timeless women who are both me, and others."

Each new creation has as its starting point a part of an existing work: by playing with the details of its illustrations to incorporate them into a new work, it puts in place a common thread that transmits a moving message, imbued with intimacy and connection between the beings that make up his universe.

Winner of the Media Arts Award at the Galart as well as at the Montreal Poetry Festival, Linda Vachon aspires to sharing and narrating between the viewer and her eclectic universe.
