Driven by a desire to create and express herself, Audrey Levasseur-Ruel began studying visual arts at a very young age, first at the Cégep du Vieux Montréal in 2017 and then at the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2019, where she focused primarily on painting, drawing, and collage. She then shifted her artistic focus to a new medium, ceramics, by enrolling in the Technical Program in Fine Arts at the Centre de céramique Bonsecours. By exploring themes of playfulness and childhood, she developed—through traditional techniques—an approach to the ceramic medium that is at once formal, utilitarian, and artistic.
“My ceramic collection presents itself as a series of formal and iconographic explorations marked by the trace of gesture, narrative, and playfulness. Driven by a constant desire to explore both traditional techniques and decorative elements, my collection is built on a playful relationship with the material through the theme of childhood. Through coil building, the incorporation of colorful motifs, as well as modeling and drawing on wheel-thrown forms, I explore—using gestures characteristic of children—the figures of the clown, the flower, and the butterfly within a personal imagination. In short, my pieces stem above all from a desire to offer, for adults and children alike, pieces that are accessible, sensitive, colorful, and above all, playful.”
