Chanaël is an artist from Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, whose practice is mainly centered around colorful figurative oil paintings and drawings. Snapping peephole-like mental captures from different realms, her work often presents compelling yet undisclosed narratives. By framing her subjects in ambiguous expressions and interactions, Chanaël invites us into the gaze of a voyeur and explores notions of performance, discomfort and consent, as well as lived and imagined complex intimate power dynamics.
