Angeline Simon

Angeline Simon is a multidisciplinary artist from Lethbridge, Alberta. She graduated from the University of Lethbridge in 2018 with a BFA in Art Studio. Influenced by her Malaysian-Chinese and German ancestry, Simon explores familial narratives and the dynamics within contrasting cultures. The physical distance from family members and a lack of participation in both German and Chinese cultural traditions is the main reason for Simon’s investigation into her ancestral past. Inspired by photomontage artists John Heartfield and Hannah Hoch, Simon reflects on her heritage by incorporating similar techniques of collage. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and institutions including Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, Contemporary Calgary, Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Casa, Trianon Gallery, and the University of Lethbridge Dr. Foster James Penny Building.
