Revisiting moments from our studio visit with

It’s been especially encouraging to see the recent works she’s been sharing online , paintings that continue to push her visual language further through colour, texture, and psychological depth. There’s a clear sense of evolution in the work while remaining grounded in the themes that define her practice.

Definitely an artist to keep an eye on.

A look back at one of our early conversations.

In 2018, we sat down with Montreal-based artist Eric Braün to understand the foundations of his practice from an early fascination with comic strips to a way of working that resists predictability. As co-founder of Usine 106u, his approach also reflects a broader commitment to making art more accessible, dismantling the usual barriers between artists and the public.

These conversations remain a way for us to engage with the community and trace the ideas that shape it over time.

As always I’m accompanied by a local photographer to document these moments. Here, Edmund quietly captures what unfolds in the space.

Known for his larger than life portraits, it was a rare chance to spend time with a selection of small scale works. Alongside that, we got to see him at work on a larger piece, power tools in hand.
