Paintings: Comic Book Portraits

Painted Pulp Papier by Sandra Chevrier

"La Cage où les gens pleurent"

Chevrier paints beautifully female portraits, which she then smothers with pages torn out of comic books, forever silencing her subjects with the very iconic heroes meant to empower them.  The pieces are a powerful commentary on the effects of the popular portrayals of women in pop culture.
