Concentrating mostly on the female figure, the work of Alexandra Levasseur portrays a sense of emotional distractions and physical disfigurement. The complexities of her drawings allow her audiences to interact with her moods, dream-like with a fascination towards nature by projecting her inner mind into her reality. This soft, almost surreal presence of the characters in her images gives the impression that we are bound to be swallowed up her thoughts and daydreams. The moods in each picture will resonate with most women who have felt or connected to a moment or portrayal of the girl she captures. Using water as a current theme evokes a state of unease, one where she is caught in-between the stillness and rush, whereby pouring water is a form of release, an outlet from her imagination to her present sentiment.
Opening a path to intuition and physical placement, this mixed media detailing enforces us to find the rapture in our own existence, of power, of passion, and of melancholy. Whimsical, but still concentrating on concrete ideas, Levasseur uses her bow and arrow to control the movement in the image. To or from, she guides her viewer into an area that can collapse, float, hang or drown.
