Like many well-known artists throughout art history, Francine Larivée reveals her creativity in a multidisciplinary art practice that includes painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video, film, scenic displays and monumental artworks for integration into architecture and the environment. Having been university educated in fine art and art history, she pursues her art with rigour and accuracy, a process nourished by profound reflection and a concern for current issues, which she understands in her unique way. Today concerned with nature, Francine Larivée explores the fragility of things and of human beings. When intervening on a site, she proceeds by small delicate touches in order to trace what she specifies is a "link between the site's features and the creative gestures that emphasise what emerges and is seen." It is an approach similar to that of an archaeologist who searches the ground and brings to light what was buried, giving the place an unexpected ancestral dimension. In a location where there was apparently just deserted wasteland, Francine Larivée has discovered an obscured mystery and bringing it back to life, she gives it meaning, character and scope. |
