KAREN QUIRION
Karen Quirion is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist based in Thetford Mines, Quebec. She has a formal background in fashion from the Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy in Quebec and the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. She is the founder and creative director of a fashion brand, KQK, and has recently started including ceramic pieces within her collections.
Focusing on unique sculptural vases, Quirion started working with ceramics in 2020, and the practice has quickly become an integral part of her work.
A long-time lover of brutalist architecture, Karen is a self-taught ceramicist working essentially with clay. All her pieces are hand-built through coiling, pinching, and slab-building techniques. Exploring the boundaries of rigidity in their nature, her ceramics are the result of an experiment of deconstruction through organic forms.
