Cozic

Since the mid-1960s, Monic Brassard and Yvon Cozic pursued a bold and original body of work that was sustained by a great degree of free expression. Influenced by Pop Art, among other sources, their practice was marked by a wide range of formal explorations, a sharp critical sense, and a playful attitude that upended dominant artistic conventions. Often displaying unusual colours and materials, and conveying the artists’ keen interest in tactile and olfactory sensations, their work was innovative both on a formal level and in its tendency to assert art’s relationship to the everyday environment. The pair was also well recognized for its contribution to the development of installation art in Quebec.
