ARTIST PROFILE

Madsie Bouffard is a Toronto-based emerging artist and 2019 graduate of OCAD University, whose work is inspired by her relationship with multiplicity. Thematically and stylistically she embraces the notion of being several states at once; illustrative and painterly, realistic and abstract, flatness and form, designed and intuitive, each quality requiring the other. She says, “I paint for the moment while I’m building up a painting and intuition takes over and makes a mark that is contradictory. It creates energy from its unpredictability. A painting is finished when all the marks come together in the end and make something beyond what I had planned, beyond anything I could have planned”.
