La Cage Et Les Fleurs Blanches
Summary
La Cage Et Les Fleurs Blanches, 'the white flowers,' is a 2018 archival pigment print on 290 gsm Moab Fine Art Rag paper measuring 16 by 16 inches, in an edition of 35. Its compact square format and floral motif make it one of the more intimate works in Chevrier's Cages series.
Why It Matters
At an edition of 35 in a small 16-by-16 format, this print combines relative scarcity with an approachable size. The white-flowers theme introduces a softer, more lyrical note into the series, offering collectors a gentler counterpoint to Chevrier's more turbulent large-format compositions.
Collector Perspective
The compact square works well in smaller spaces and grouped hangs, while the edition of 35 keeps it genuinely limited. Confirm signature, numbering out of 35, and the 290 gsm Moab Fine Art Rag stock. It is a practical, collectible entry point for those drawn to the series' quieter register.
Historical Context
Dated 2018, this print shows Chevrier working at intimate scale within the Cages series. The white-flowers motif adds a note of fragility and beauty to her meditation on the feminine ideal, complementing the comic-panel masking with a softer botanical symbol.

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.
