charlotte fauteux

Charlotte Fauteux (born in 1945 in Shawinigan, Quebec) is a printmaker and painter who has lived in Montreal since the 1980s. A graduate of the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, she is an honorary founding member of Atelier Circulaire, a prominent artist-run printmaking center known for its technical excellence and collaborative spirit.

Her work is grounded in intaglio techniques such as drypoint and aquatint, where textured backgrounds interact with linear motifs in a carefully balanced relationship between form and space. She refers to the drawn elements in her compositions as “subjects” in contrast to the labor-intensive backgrounds on which they unfold.

Active on the Montreal art scene for more than thirty years, she exhibits regularly in solo and group shows. She has taken part in projects like Master Printmakers, which highlight the role of printmaking within collective and intergenerational creative contexts.
