Gauntlet Gallery — Sandra Chevrier Print Index
Triptych
Summary
This 2014 Triptych comprises three giclée prints on Moab 300 g paper — L'esprit fertile de la chauve-souris, L'instant tragique, and Suppliant les Dieux — each measuring 54.5 x 29 cm. The set is signed, numbered and stamped in an edition of 100.
Why It Matters
Conceived as a three-part set, the triptych lets Chevrier extend a single narrative across three related cage compositions, an ambitious editioned format. The individual titles — invoking a bat's fertile spirit, a tragic instant, and a plea to the gods — chart a mythic emotional arc across the three vertical sheets.
Collector Perspective
The value proposition rests on keeping the three sheets together as a complete set; separated panels lose the triptych's coherence. At an edition of 100, complete sets are moderately available. The added stamp alongside signature and numbering provides an extra authentication layer to verify on each panel.
Historical Context
The 2014 triptych appeared during Chevrier's prolific giclée period on Moab paper. Its component titles later reappeared as standalone XL editions, making this three-panel set an origin point for several of her best-known 2014 compositions and a coherent statement of the cage series' mythic themes.

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.
