Shoshana Walfish

Shoshana Walfish is a painter based between Brussels and Montreal. Her practice is driven by research and experimentation, exploring how the body relates to feminism, existentialism, phenomenology and art history. While research provides the structural framework of her painting practice, she intuitively seeks to abstract and collapse the boundaries between the foreground, background, real and surreal, playing with the classical tenets of space and flesh, engaging corporeality and symbolism. Working in series, she uses colour, mark making and the materiality of the paint to manifest presence and delve into what it means to inhabit a body.

Walfish holds a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Her work has most recently been shown at Marian Cramer (Amsterdam), Kasteel D'Ursel (Antwerp), and in a solo exhibition at the Jewish Museum of Belgium (Brussels). She has also shown at Galerie Nicolas Robert (Toronto and Montreal), Beige Gallery in (Brussels), Brussels Art Nouveau and Design Festival (Brussels) and Birch Contemporary (Toronto).
