Artist Bio

Sandra Chevrier is a Montréal-based Canadian contemporary artist, born in 1983, internationally recognized for The Cages series, a body of work that has become a defining visual language within contemporary urban and pop-influenced art.

Trained in visual and media arts at Université du Québec à Montréal, Chevrier builds hyper-realistic portraits layered with fragments of comic book imagery, using the human gaze as the emotional center of each work. These collaged “masks” reference the superhero not as fantasy, but as a symbol of the expectations, pressures, and contradictions imposed on identity, particularly the roles placed on women in modern society.

Her work has been exhibited widely across North America, Europe, and beyond, including museum and major gallery presentations, and she has produced landmark public works on an architectural scale. 

 In 2020, Chevrier collaborated with Shepard Fairey on a 12-story mural in Austin, Texas, recognized as the city’s largest mural, further cementing her presence within global contemporary culture. Balancing technical mastery with cultural critique, Chevrier’s portraits operate at the intersection of fine art, pop iconography, and social commentary, offering images that are immediately striking yet conceptually enduring.
