Nicole Crozier
Artist member since 2018
Toronto , Ontario
Nicole's practice is concerned with engineering an aesthetic that is at once seductive and unsettling as a means of investigating the overlap between desire, fantasy, identity, and (self)-image. In her work, she attempts to "make strange" the presentation of the female figure by using her as an armature for display.
Currently based in Toronto, Nicole is a graduate of the University of Ottawa's BFA program. In Toronto, her work has been shown at Fashion Art Toronto 2018, The Project Gallery, the John B. Aird Gallery, Black Cat Showroom and OCAD U as part of the 2015 Feminist Art Conference. In Ottawa, her work has been shown at The Fritzi Gallery, Studio 66, St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts, Gallery 115 and Ottawa/Gatineau Nuit Blanche 2013. Farther afield, Nicole has exhibited at Z Art Space in Montreal as well as at The Whitestone Gallery in Guelph.
