Jannick Deslauriers is a Canadian artist known for her sculptures which explore the ethereal and fragility through the construction of delicate yet intricate translucent objects.
The environments created by Deslauriers reside in an in-between space where the intimate and the collective converge through the entanglement of hybrid structures often inspired by a lexicon of digital images. The layering and intertwining of references, materials, and manufacturing techniques form a perpetual cycle of decay, restoration, and transformation.
In this way, referents, materials and manufacturing processes act as a continuous cycle of deterioration, repair and transformation.
Her recent projects have been presented at Projet Casa (Montreal), Fofa Gallery (Montreal), as part of the Biennale de Québec, Peel Art Gallery (Brampton) and at 1700 La Poste (Montreal), which devoted a retrospective exhibition to her in 2023.
We project onto them a phantasmagoria that splinters from the seemingly neutral present.
The artist draws on a collective imagination and memory that is archived online – images of demolished gadgets, detailed and general views of vehicles, historic plans of ejectable seat and flying machine, digital blueprints of futuristic buildings. Grounding her artistic investigation along a spatial axis, Jannick Deslauriers activates the unsteady boundaries of sites to allow for a haunting past to cast into the future.

The spaces carefully crafted by Deslauriers inhabit an ambiguous realm.
Between appearance and disappearance, temporality becomes ambiguous and the hollowed-out envelopes that appear to slump and meander in space, reveal a residue of dust and debris as though bearing or shielding their own degradation. She is the recipient of numerous awards from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
