Nicole Boyce

Montreal

Nicole Boyce is a multidisciplinary artist whose paintings emerge from a process-based practice rooted in iteration. Working across sculpture, photography, and collage, she explores how perception shifts when familiar materials are rearranged, layered, and disguised. Her work blurs the line between surface and structure, image and object—inviting visual tension through the interplay of precision and unpredictability. Shadows, textures, and illusions unfold into visual puzzles, asking the viewer to pause, question, and reorient. Boyce embraces controlled accidents and transformation, using disruption as a tool to reframe what we think we see. Her practice investigates the fragility of clarity and the ways meaning is constructed through reinterpretation.
