artist bio
Gisele Amantea is an artist who lives in Montréal, Canada. Her work is known for its innovative use of materials and formats drawn from popular culture, such as flock, graphic narrative and commercial film, and its exploration of questions related to women, class, nostalgia, history and memory. Materially and visually rich, her work also considers notions of ornament and decoration in relation to domestic architectural space. In 2002 she participated in the Khoj International Artists Workshop in Mysore. Recently she has completed a large-scale public art commission for the City of Vancouver and, as a member of Cut Rate Artists’ Collective, co-curated a major exhibition titled Used/Goods sited in Montreal’s main Salvation Army store. She has exhibited extensively in Canada and internationally and her work is included in numerous public and private collections in Canada. Since 1995 she has been a faculty member in the Studio Arts Program in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montréal. She currently teaches interdisciplinary approaches to artmaking and in the graduate program in Fibres.
