Hollande Bezan is a visual artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her drawings and paintings are inspired by enigmatic everyday objects and scenes that collectively capture lived experiences. Through emotions ranging from humour to nostalgia, her works tell stories of the textures, ties, and affective patterns that give meaning to modern day life.
Bezan earned her BFA with Honours at University of Manitoba in 2015. Her work has been exhibited at Warehouse Artworks, Gallery in the Park (Altona), Woodlands Gallery, MAWA (Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art), The Edge Urban Art Gallery, and La maison des artistes Visuels.
