Mira Reiss-Arnaud lives and works in Montreal, Canada. In her works she shows an interest for figuration and the imagination.Most of her works can be loosely located within a neo-expressionist framework: distorted space, figures askew, boosted colours; the sense of a separate reality with an alternate set of visual rules. The artist shows an interest for the psyche of the creator - the inner perambulations and dramas of individuation. The paintings function almost like charts of personal symbolism and significance; to attempt to unravel them is to be drawn in, to find yourself wandering around, a traveller of sorts in a place not quite of this world.
