Colette Laliberté

Colette Laliberté work crosses media and includes drawings, digital prints, photography, paintings, projections, and in-situ wallworks. She is fueled by the visual language of abstraction. Through her process, she constructs historical, cultural and personal references. She is interested in how architecture, science and technology contribute to shaping and reshaping our environment and how these affect our ways of thinking and doing. Laliberté is informed by the ideology that grouped Malevich, Lissitzky, and Moholy-Nagy, who believed in the future and held a hopeful view of art as a universal language that has the power to instill change. These ideas form the genesis of her research; however, she tempers their hopeful view with doubts about what the future holds. More specifically, she is concerned with questions unique to her time: concerns for the state of the environment and social injustice. Laliberté moved to Toronto in 1985 following her residency as Young Artists in Residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts. She earned a BFA from UQAM University and an MFA from Windsor University. Her works have been exhibited in numerous solo, duo and group exhibitions in Canada and abroad. Laliberté has also participated in residencies in France, Spain, New York, and most recently at 12 Degrees in Toronto, The Durham Gallery in Stouffville, Ontario and Duntara Newfoundland. Laliberté is an Associate Professor Emerita at the Ontario College of Art and Design University, (OCAD U) where she taught drawing, painting, installation and site specific art practices. She held the positions of Chair of First-Year Studies, Assistant Dean and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Faculty of Art. Laliberté has been a visiting artist and lecturer in several universities, galleries and art circles as well as the recipient of grants and awards from the Ontario, Quebec, local, provincial and federal governmental agencies.
