Biography
Jodi Le Bigre (b. Toronto) is an artist based in Scotland. She works broadly across printmaking, painting, and installation but at the centre of her practice is a commitment to hand-formed imagery. Her work grows out of an interest in the interaction and interrelation of people and their environments, as well as people’s imagining of wilderness and otherness, and how the concepts of natural and human resources play into these interactions.
Jodi’s artistic practice has been shaped by living in Canada, Japan, France, and Scotland, as well as through having studied and worked in a variety of contexts. Her introduction to printmaking came through her time at the Atelier de Belleville in Paris, followed by time spent in her own printmaking studio and various print studios throughout Scotland, focusing on etching and stone lithography. She is a graduate of the Master’s of Fine Art Practice at Glasgow School of Art, with a specialism in printmaking. Alongside her own projects, Jodi currently works at Peacock & The Worm (Aberdeen, Scotland) as an editioning collaborative printmaker (AKA master printmaker) and technician. Previously she has worked in similar roles as etching technician at Edinburgh Printmakers and at the Glasgow School of Art as a lithography technician, working with a wide variety of celebrated artists and student practitioners alike.
Jodi has been invited on artist residencies in Italy, Belgium, France, Germany, and the UK, and has been awarded such prizes as the Royal Scottish Academy’s John Kinross Award and the Society of Scottish Artists’ Eichstätt Lithography Award. She regularly exhibits work in Scotland and internationally and her work is held in private and public collections, including the Royal Scottish Academy, Dumfries House, Iraq National Library, Universitätsbibliothek Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, and Herron Art Library at Purdue University.
