Ginette Lapalme | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Ginette Lapalme's work mines comics, cartoons and the colorful detritus of childhood, she layers these points of reference to form artistic accretions that forego maudlin nostalgia. Rather, Lapalme reinvents and remakes the cultural debris and juvenilia into something raw and radical.The myriad of media and artistic methods presented by Lapalme in Confetti place her alongside artists such as Cory Arcangel, Paper Rad, Shana Moulton, and Ryan Trecartin & Lizzie Fitch. Lapalme is a part of a post-Pop aesthetic where YouTube has replaced the tube, and pop culture has been pixelated. Lapalme's work is perfectly timed for the internet age and its renaissance of DIY crafters and homespun animators. Her jewelry and sculpture have made her an Etsy sensation and she was recently named one of Toronto's top five GIF artists by the art blog Modern Toronto.
