Gauntlet Gallery — Sandra Chevrier Print Index
La Cage et L’amour Éternel (Eternal Love)
Summary
"La Cage et L'amour Éternel (Eternal Love)" is a 2024 giclée on hot-press 290gsm Moab Entrada paper with hand-deckled edges, sized 9 x 12 inches in an edition of 150. Its intimate scale and love theme make it one of the more tender entries in the Cages series.
Why It Matters
The "Eternal Love" subtitle reframes Chevrier's usual tension between constraint and identity toward romance and devotion. At 9 x 12 inches it is among the smaller formats in the catalogue, offering an accessible point of entry while retaining the archival build and hand-deckled finishing of larger works.
Collector Perspective
Small-format editions like this suit collectors seeking Chevrier's imagery at a domestic scale or as a first acquisition. The hand-deckled edges and Moab Entrada substrate signal deliberate fine-art finishing rather than a poster-grade print, and the edition of 150 keeps it within reach while remaining a limited, numbered work.
Historical Context
Chevrier frequently issues intimate giclées alongside her larger screen prints, letting the same Cages vocabulary reach a broader range of collectors. This 2024 love-themed piece reflects a recurring softer register within her practice, where the comic-panel veil frames connection rather than confinement.

About the Artist
Sandra Chevrier is a Canadian contemporary artist based in Montreal, best known for her ongoing series La Cage, in which she paints delicate female portraits partially overlaid with comic-book imagery. The superhero panels function as a metaphorical "cage," exploring the pressures, expectations, and idealized roles imposed on women. Her mixed-media works combine painting, drawing, and vintage comic collage, and she has exhibited internationally and collaborated on projects including a notable series with Hendrik Beikirch. Chevrier's editioned prints translate her intimate, layered originals to a wider collector audience.
