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.
