About the artist
Internationally renowned as the Queen of Double Eyes, Alex Garant studied visual arts at Notre-Dame–De-Foy College just outside Quebec City. After graduating in 2001, she moved in Toronto, Canada. She decided to truly commit to her passion for Arts after suffering from a heart attack in 2012, changing forever how she would see the world.
Represented by galleries in Canada, United States and Australia, Alex Garant’s works have also been shown in several museums including the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in California, the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Arizona, the Honolulu Museum of Art in Hawaii and the Fullerton Museum Center in California. Collaboration clients include MARVEL x Sideshow Collectibles, KAPPA, Universal Music x Billy Talent, Universal UK, Budweiser Events, Penguin Random House, Mr Men X Little Miss.
She is currently working from Ohio, USA.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
As a pioneer of Contemporary Figurative Op Art, Alex Garant’s oil paintings offer a graphic quality combined with traditional portrait techniques. Garant establishes herself as one of the leaders of analogue Glitch Art by using patterns, duplication of elements, symmetry and image superposition as key elements of her imagery. Her portraits are a reflection on human duality, the battle for self-definition between one’s inner self and outer persona.
Press
Alex Garant’s has been featured in notable magazine and online sources including Juxtapoz, Beautiful Bizarre, the American Art Collector magazine and on multiple online platforms including VICE, The Huffington Post, Buzznet and many more.
