Chloe Wise
Chloe Wise, born in 1990 in Montreal, Canada, is a contemporary artist known for her satirical and thought-provoking works that explore themes of consumerism, culture and identity. She studied at Concordia University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Wise's multidisciplinary practice includes painting, sculpture, video and installation, often blending humor with critical commentary. Her work gained significant attention with the creation of a series of sculptures that mimic luxury food items, such as the "Bread Bags," which parody designer handbags made from hyper-realistic bread. Notable works include "Pissing, Shmoozing, and Looking Away," and "Not That Kind of Girl." Wise's art is characterized by its meticulous craftsmanship and ability to engage with contemporary cultural dialogues. Wise's work has been exhibited in major galleries and institutions, including Almine Rech Gallery in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
