Anie-Jade Glazer

Anie-Jade Glazer, a painter originally from the Outaouais region and now based in Montreal, explores the image as a territory of metamorphosis. Trained in visual arts at UQAM and in digital design at NAD, she develops a practice at the intersection of the digital and the physical.

Her approach is rooted in research-creation, where the process is central. Using digital montages that combine personal archives, collected images, and references from popular culture, she constructs hybrid figures, predominantly female. Influenced by subcultures (grunge, punk, goth, street fashion), she captures visual codes that she deconstructs and then recomposes within the pictorial space.

Painting acts as a gesture of slowing down in the face of the digital flow. Through texture, layering, and contrast, her works embody a strong physical presence. The direct and sometimes unsettling gazes confront the viewer.

Her work questions contemporary identity between hypervisibility, fragmentation and self-staging by giving form to powerful and ambivalent feminine archetypes.
