Alex Garant

Alex Garant, Canadian Contemporary Figurative OP Artist, earned her reputation as the Queen of Double Eyes. Having studied visual arts at Notre-Dame–De-Foy College near Quebec City, she made Toronto her home after graduating in 2001. It was a heart attack in 2012 that catalyzed her full dedication to art, forever altering her perspective on the world.

Recognized as the inventor of "Analogue Glitch Art"  and pioneer of the Contemporary Figurative Op Art movement, Garant's oil paintings blend graphic elements with traditional portraiture techniques. She employs patterns, duplication, symmetry, and image superposition to craft her mesmerizing visuals. Her works delve into human duality, exploring the conflict between inner identity and outward persona.

With representation in galleries across Canada, the United States, and Australia, Garant's art has graced prestigious museums such as the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in California, the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Arizona, and the Honolulu Museum of Art in Hawaii, and more recently the Medici Museum of Arts in Warren, Ohio.
