Montreal-based French-Canadian visual artist Carine Khalifé paints, draws and animates—sometimes simultaneously. Her work ranges from miniatures to large-scale formats in immersive installations or monumental projections. Guided by her mentor, sculptor Mireille Honeïn, she’s discovered an expressionism that’s both uncompromising and gentle, which she explores in chiaroscuro, between shadow and light. Hospital, with Love (Hôpital, mon amour) is her first short film produced by the NFB.
