Why It Matters
The "Cage Study" screen prints, produced with Montreal's respected Station 16 press, translate Chevrier's imagery into a bold four-color process on premium Lettra cotton paper. "Fragile Heroes" names the tension at the heart of her work: superhero iconography paired with human vulnerability. The full signed-numbered-stamped trio and known printer strengthen its collectible standing.
Collector Perspective
At edition 100 this is an accessible screen print, appealing to collectors who value the Station 16 imprint and the tactile quality of Lettra cotton stock. The four-color process yields a punchy, poster-adjacent graphic look. Full authentication markers plus a documented printer support resale confidence. It pairs naturally with the other "Cage Study" screen prints as a set.
Historical Context
Station 16, a Montreal print studio and gallery, collaborated with Chevrier on the "Cage Study" editions, situating her within a strong street-and-contemporary print scene. The CMYK screen approach reframes her painterly subjects in a graphic idiom, while the "study" designation positions these as focused explorations of her cage-and-comics theme.
