Sophie Jodoin (born 1965) is a Canadian visual artist based in Montreal. Jodoin is known chiefly for her figurative, drawing-based practice in traditional media as well as collage, video, and altered found objects.[1]

Education

She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1988 in Visual Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.[2]

Work

She has worked almost exclusively in black-and-white since 2004, and first showed works integrating drawing and collage in 2009,[3] sourcing images from magazines, the Internet, personal photos and books.[4] In Jodoin's drawing, the lack of objective figures gives people a feeling that there is no narration. One exception that contains didactic intent is "Yesterday and Tomorrow", which consists of a series of drawings.[5] Those pictures showed a young girl wearing a white silk dress walking through a corridor.
