Roxy Peroxyde: Sugar Coated Defiance
Roxy Peroxyde, born Roxanne Sauriol Hauenherm in Montreal in 1987, is a German-Canadian self-taught artist known for photorealistic oil paintings that blend historical portraiture with contemporary anxieties. Her work features hyper-saturated palettes and women who confront the viewer with complex emotions, questioning beauty, power, and identity. Peroxyde reinterprets classical compositions by inserting modern agency, using synthetic colors to bridge past and present. She describes herself as 'ungovernable, the zeitgeist' and emphasizes discipline in her practice: 'I wake up, work, then answer emails.' Her next project is under NDA, adding to her mystique.
