Andrée-Anne Guay was born in 1986 and lives in the Limoilou district of Quebec City. Her academic career wavers between Arts and Archivistics. The fruit of her work is a combination of these two passions. Archives are the basis of her work, her main source of inspiration. With collage, she builds new links to make the fragments of cut-out images speak.
Over the years, Andrée-Anne has made a name for herself through her many exhibitions in Quebec microbreweries and cafés such as Vice &Versa, Maelstrom, NYKS, 507, etc. She has also participated in many auctions such as the annual BABA and craft markets such as Salon Nouveau Genre. She has also participated in several auctions such as the annual BABA and artisan markets such as the Salon Nouveau Genre. She has a desire to bring the world of art to the public by exhibiting in these accessible venues.
Following a training at Atelier Retailles, in 2019, Andrée-Anne develops an interest in handmade paper. She began to make and mix handmade papers with her works, which allowed her to enrich her plastic language and to seek freedom in the gesture as well as in the messages of her works. Thanks to a grant from Première Ovation, she is developing a collection of original collages that combine painting, drawing, archival documents and handmade paper.
His collages celebrate the beauty of the universe in all its originality and complexity.
She consciously mixes diverse elements from different eras and cultures. Far from wanting to create clashes and confrontations, she weaves passages between cultural codes and languages in order to celebrate them in the idea of a great universal and timeless aesthetic festival. The result is a heterogeneous world and a new heteronomy that invites reflection.
