Sophie Jodoin’s artistic practice is a fascinating mix of drawings and collages inspired by the artist’s meditation on the suffering, both physical and mental, caused by violence. Violated, crippled and humiliated figures, represented with very few details, conjure up deceit, slyness and the irreparable damage inflicted by others. Jodoin’s frank and brutal creations are small but dramatic chronicles that poignantly bear witness to the human condition. Sophie Jodoin lives and works in Montreal.    - Art Books Canada -
