Geneviève Thauvette has studied Studio Arts at Concordia University and most recently Photography at Algonquin College. She has always been drawn to this medium, as her unusual perspective of life asserts itself with a surrealist nature on the figurative reality it can present. Genevieve strives, through the juxtaposition of whimsical elements and morose or erotically charged contexts, to evoke earnest emotional responses. She speaks to her audience on a visceral level, but not without a certain subconscious language of her own. The theme of sexuality is often implied, and it is through her use of such discordant elements as doilies and guns that society's absurd and ironic treatment of the subject is understood. The textures combined in her work can frequently be unnerving by virtue of their incongruous qualities. Yet, despite their differences, a certain harmony transpires, thus helping to produce the uncanny perception of the visual world she creates.
