WITNESSING
Léa Kristmanson is a visual artist with a background in film and digital arts. She received her B.A. arts, philosophy from the University of Ottawa, her post-graduate diploma in 3-D animation from Sheridan College, Ontario and her M.A. in Art history at the UQAM. Master classes in digital imagery and video with Ko Nakajima, Klaus Von Bruch and Ulriche Rosenbach and film production courses with Vaclav Taborsky. Léa taught visual art theory and studio courses at the Université du Québec, photography at the Ottawa School of Art and film studies the University of Regina. Currently active in the Bay Fundy, her previous studios were based in Ottawa and in Edinburgh.
Léa Kristmanson's artistic approach derives in part from a profound reflection on landscape and perception as it is embodied in series of large oil canvases that she began in 2005. Her works on paper and digital formats, record a series of interests rooted in cognitive and philosophical questions. As a painter, Léa is also the philosopher retracing landscape “back to where it remains obscure and unthematized.” The results are enigmatic, and yet very much ‘of nature’
