Originally from Quebec City, Rose Cantin will live in Montreal for a few years until 2021, where she will decide to return to settle in nature in Lac Beauport. With an atypical background in jewelry and industrial design, she has transposed her interests for form, composition and material into pictorial abstraction since 2009. Naturally diligent and meticulous, the autodidact draws inspiration from constructivist and minimalist movements to create works in which clear geometric shapes and profiled lines master the instability of the hazardous gesture. Dripping, folding and piling up thus thwart the controlled intentions of its frame. This eternal battle between the organized and the chaotic animates Rose Cantin's production, but also punctuates her personal life. Divided between the compulsion for order and the intriguing beauty of novelty, she only manages to marry these two impulses on the canvas.
