The Last Picnic - e pluribus: Out of Many

Statement

Part of a generation of artists who developed their practices around what was then called “Picture Theory,” Lemieux has gone on to become a trailblazer in the field of post-Conceptualist painting, assemblage, and photomontage, drawing influences from Minimalism and Pop art and often employing as her source material media images from the 20th century. Lemieux’s deft use of readymade imagery in her practice is always tied to contemporary life, its humanity and its indignations, it politics and its ever-changing visual codes, and thus her work is always open to new meaning, on both a personal and collective level.
