In 2013, she completed a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Visual and Media Arts at the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. For some years now, she has exhibited in Qu\u00e9bec City, Toronto and Paris. She received a painting scholarship from the Fondation McAbbie in 2012. In connection with the BMO 1st Art! competition in 2013, she was chosen for the painting category as part of the university selection process (UQAM). In 2017, she was selected by the Canadian delegation for the Salon des beaux arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. In 2021, she was a finalist in a government project integrating art and architecture (1%) for the Centre r\u00e9cr\u00e9otouristique de Saint-Constant. Her works are part of private collections, the Montr\u00e9al artwork collection as well as the Colart collection. Debby Talbot lives and works in Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artist&#8217;s statement<\/h2>\n\n<p>\tIn my artwork, I seek to explore limits and barriers, and test the fragmentation of forms and the luminosity of colours (values and tones). Surveillance, appearance and camouflage are themes in my practice. My paintings become interactive in the sense that the coloured matter and its tactile aspect are a direct channel to the public; as a result, taking a step back will allow viewers to better observe the subject at a distance. Shifting, dissolution of reference points and reconstruction: this is the visual dialogue that challenges me in my practice. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C.V.<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-gvsj-cv-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>2013<\/td><td>Bachelor\u2019s degree..
