La Cage et toutes tes couleurs 2022

Sandra Chevrier made "La Cage et toutes tes couleurs" to explore ideas about identity and female representation. The face of the woman is partially obscured by collaged comic book pages. The contrast between the woman's soft features and the jagged, black-and-white comic book images raises questions. What do these iconic characters tell us about the cultural expectations imposed on women? Chevrier is a Canadian artist and her work provides a commentary on contemporary society. It makes us think about how beauty standards are formed through art institutions and popular media. To understand this artwork better, it would be interesting to look at sociological studies of beauty standards and how women are represented in comic books. This work reflects a challenge to the existing social norms. It is a statement on the politics of imagery.
