La Cage Entre L'ombre et la Lumière Turquoise is a silkscreen print by contemporary Canadian artist Sandra Chevrier. Sandra is well-known for her mixed-media art, which often combines painting and collage techniques to create striking, large-scale portraits of women. In her "Cages" series, she explores the concept of societal expectations placed upon women, symbolically portraying them as being trapped within cages. The cages are typically represented by superhero comic book imagery, illustrating how women are often expected to be strong and perfect in every aspect of their lives. By incorporating these comic book elements, Chevrier highlights the unrealistic and unattainable expectations that many women face daily. "La Cage Entre L'ombre et la Lumière Turquoise" is part of this series and features a portrait of a woman with a superhero mask and comic book elements overlaid onto her face. The title translates to "The Cage Between the Shadow and the Turquoise Light," emphasizing the juxtaposition between the darker aspects of societal expectations and the light of personal freedom and expression. As a silkscreen print, this piece is created using a stencil-based printmaking technique. In this method, a stencil (often made of a fine mesh) is used to selectively apply ink onto a surface. The result is a highly detailed, vibrant, and visually striking piece of art that showcases Chevrier's unique artistic style and powerful social commentary.
