Bio
Emerging contemporary artist, Andie Trépanier, is a versatile multi-disciplinary creative who is currently working primarily with oil, gouache, and acrylic mediums.
Andie was extensively mentored by their father; late, renown landscape artist and filmmaker Cory Trépanier and has been creating commissioned artwork and excelling in creative fields since their early teens (see CV below). Through this lifelong mentorship Andie garnered a comprehensive grasp of art fundamentals and technique while adopting unique self-teaching methods; analysing art philosophies and developing creative processes, while proactively evolving skillsets as needed.
The artist's works are mostly created in their hermetic barn studio, located in a forested grove in Caledon, Ontario on a third-generation artist property. After dedicating the last 3 years specifically to visual arts, they have dutifully laid the foundations for their forthcoming debut exhibition and are now crafting a series of large canvases.
This new collection focuses on subconscious exploration, artfully executed according to a pleasure-centred creative process developed by the artist. Andie pulls compositions directly from extensive dream experiments and records, tactfully recreating scenes they have experienced in subliminal spaces. The result is an otherworldly visual plane, rich with symbolism and implied narratives; a malleable playground for the artist to examine contemplative and expansive themes such as death, gender, power, class, introspection, and what wisdom might be found in the unknown.
