Lise Montigny

The aesthetic pursuit in Lise Montigny’s art is constantly evolving. Through the years, she has acquired a comprehensive understanding of the products and media that artists use. A pendant becomes a tiara, a belt, the hem of dress, nothing stands in the way of her overflowing imagination. For Lise Montigny, a colour, a piece of lace is enough to trigger her creative energy. Her rich and reflective colour palette mixes in with the textures and jewellery in a way that brings to mind the creativeness of the fashion designers of yester-years as well as of today, such as Givency, Dior, Chanel, St-Laurent, and others.

Her work is timeless, her beautifully attired figures pose for posterity….

Mixed media: acrylic paint, ink, fabric, stones and jewellery.

From a young age, Lise Montigny showed great interest in the arts. However, it's at the age of fourteen that the little girl's passion emerges in a more assured artistic future. In fact, after seeing a painting course announcement given by the Famous Artists School, Lise Montigny started her studies there. Always hungry for knowledge, she decided to continue her studies in CEGEP in spatial and pictorial organization in addition to following courses of aesthetics of presentation. She completed her display of artistic knowledge with oil painting classes under the direction of Pierre Léon Rivard, and watercolor classes with Nicole Foreman. She paints landscapes, but much prefer to exhibit her creativity with characters.

Lise Montigny was born in 1956 in Granby.

Several solo and group exhibitions across Quebec.

The paintings of Lise Montigny are in private collections in Canada, USA, Europe, Japan and Australia.
