Jannick Deslauriers

“Jannick Deslauriers was born in 1983 in Joliette, Quebec. She moved to Montreal, where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia University in 2008. She then developed a large body of textile works over the course of more than a decade. Known for her ethereal sculptures, she continued her training at the Yale School of Art, where she acquired a master’s degree in sculpture between 2020 and 2022. Deslauriers has presented her works in various institutions in Quebec, including the Musée d’art de Joliette (2011), Circa art actuel (2011), the Biennale nationale de sculpture contemporaine de Trois-Rivières (2014), and Projet Casa (2020). In the spring of 2023, 1700 La Poste is dedicating a retrospective exhibition to her. Subsequently, the WIELS, a contemporary art centre in Brussels, welcomed her into its international residency program. There, she developed her project Seuils (“Thresholds”), presented at the Musée d’art de Joliette (2025) and then at the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie Saint-Paul (2026). With the artist Camille Charbonneau, she formed a duo and created the project Angels in Between, which will be unveiled at the Stems Gallery in Brussels in the spring of 2026. Her works are notably part of the collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; the collection of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; at the SEI in Oaks, Pennsylvania; the Coleccìon SOLO in Madrid; and in numerous corporate and private collections.”
