Alice Gaboury-Moreau
is an animator, illustrator and designer based in Montreal. She
graduates from Concordia University in 2021 with a BFA in Design and a
minor in Animation. Alice has dabbled in many types of designs ever
since her time in school, (from typesetting magazines to artwork for
bands, editorial illustrations, posters, children’s book, logo design,
and many more!!!), but her true passion lies in frame-by-frame animation
and title design for the cinema. Ever since she was little, Alice was
glued to her TV screen and simply existed alongside the buzzing of the
shows she would watch and rewatch while drawing invented characters for
hours on end. To this day, she gets profoundly inspired by stories told
through films and series, as the medium combines images and rhythm, two
key aspects of Alice’s practice.
In the last few years,
Alice has had the chance to collaborate with filmmakers and musicians,
to create music videos, documentaries, educational animations and title
sequences. She has also directed a few projects of her own, which have
been recognized for their originality, frenzyness and refreshing humour.
Alice’s work aims to explore the beauty and the funny that can be found
in the mundane. She’s obsessed by themes of self-perception, routine and
domesticity, focusing on the absurdity of certain parts of the ordinary.
Her narratives and visuals are impressionistic, and explore the emotions
associated with the small (and yet...!) things in life.
