Sandra Chevrier (Canadian, born 1983) paints women’s faces, then paints snippets from famous comic books on top - always leaving the subjects’ fierce gazes uncovered. The hyperrealistic portraits explore notions of heroism, vulnerability, and gender expectations in American pop culture. Chevrier graduated with a BFA in visual and media arts from the University of Quebec in Montreal and has since exhibited in London, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Berlin, among other cities. Chevrier has produced a number of public works and collaborated with clients including the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the LINE Hotel in Austin, and Palms Casino Resort.
