Aralia Maxwell is an artist based in Montréal (Tiohtià:ke), Quebec. Originally from Saskatchewan (Treaty 6 Territory), she holds a BA Double Honours from the University of Saskatchewan (2015) and an MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University (2019). Her work has been shown across Canada at venues that include: Art Mûr (Montréal, QC), The University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, MB), Neutral Ground Artist-run (Regina, SK), and Anna Leonowens Gallery (Halifax, NS). Her honours include the Governor General Gold Medal, the Joseph Beuys Memorial Scholarship, and support from the Canada Council for the Arts. Maxwell’s artistic practice draws attention to materiality, process, and aesthetic transformations. Utilizing acrylic paint as a primary ingredient, she works to blend and abstract vocabularies of fine art and consumerism. The intention is to better understand patterns in visual appetite. Playing with conventional expectations, Maxwell considers: How far can an image be pulled toward abstraction, while retaining a degree of representation? Where is the line between “tasteful” and “tasteless?” Aralia Maxwell est une artiste basée à Montréal (Tiohtià:ke), au Québec. Originaire de la Saskatchewan (Territoire du Traité 6), elle détient un baccalauréat avec double spécialisation de l'Université de la Saskatchewan (2015) ainsi qu'une maîtrise en beaux-arts du Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University (2019). Son travail a été exposé à travers le Canada dans des lieux tels que : Art Mûr (Montréal, QC), l'Université du Manitoba (Winnipeg, MB), Neutral Ground Artist-run (Regina, SK) et la Galerie Anna Leonowens (Halifax, NS). Ses distinctions comprennent la Médaille d'or du Gouverneur général, la Bourse commémorative Joseph Beuys, et le soutien du Conseil des arts du Canada. La pratique artistique de Maxwell attire l'attention sur la matérialité, le processus et les transformations esthétiques. En utilisant la peinture acrylique comme ingrédient principal, elle cherche à mélanger et à abstraire les vocabulaires des beaux-arts et de la consommation. L'intention est de mieux comprendre les motifs dans l'appétit visuel. Jouant avec les attentes conventionnelles, Maxwell se demande : Jusqu'où une image peut-elle être tirée vers l'abstraction tout en conservant un degré de représentation ? Où se situe la frontière entre "de bon goût" et "de mauvais goût" ?
