Caitlin McDonagh

Caitlin McDonagh est une artiste visuelle, illustratrice et muraliste canadienne qui crée des œuvres complexes profondément inspirées par le folklore, le symbolisme et la nature. Inspirée par la ligne où se brouillent la vie humaine et le monde naturel, son travail aboutit souvent à un récit harmonieux où des êtres montrent à la fois les côtés humanistes et animaliers d’eux-mêmes, dans des paysages inspirés des lieux qu’elle a visités, vécus et imaginés. Son objectif avec son travail est de construire son propre folklore personnel ; travail qui laisse des portes ouvertes en son sein, permettant au spectateur de prolonger l’histoire tout en y trouvant des parties d’eux-mêmes. On peut trouver les murales de Caitlin à Victoria BC, Vancouver BC, Montréal et diverses régions du Québec, Brooklyn NYC et Charlotte NC. Ses peintures font partie de la collection d’art permanente de la ville de Burnaby à la Burnaby Art Gallery, ainsi que de nombreuses collections privées à travers le monde.

Artwork description

Caitlin McDonagh, an artist from British Columbia and now a resident of Parc-Extension, created the luminous mural Holding Together. The choice of bright colors was inspired by the presence of a daycare center on the first floor of the building. The theme dear to the borough (the meeting of cultures) is suggested by the various complementary motifs meeting and assembling at the center of the wall, where a rainbow and a handshake unite. The work’s freshness, motifs and colors give it a unique character, evoking both community relations and the meeting of cultures.
