Sophie Jodoin (born 1965) is a Canadian visual artist based in Montreal. Jodoin is known chiefly for her figurative, drawing-based practice in traditional media as well as collage, video, and altered found objects.
Education
She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1988 in Visual Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.
Work
She has worked almost exclusively in black-and-white since 2004, and first showed works integrating drawing and collage in 2009, sourcing images from magazines, the Internet, personal photos and books. In Jodoin's drawing, the lack of objective figures gives people a feeling that there is no narration. One exception that contains didactic intent is "Yesterday and Tomorrow", which consists of a series of drawings. Those pictures showed a young girl wearing a white silk dress walking through a corridor.
