SUMMER ART SHOWS

JULIE BRETON | TRANSFORMATION

JULIE BRETON | ARTWORK DETAIL

The big reveal for my new abstract painting series Émotions will take place during three summer art shows. The art, inspired by Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary, will be on show at The Langham Cultural Centre in Kaslo, Bijou in Nelson BC and The Cross in Vancouver's Yaletown.

I really enjoyed working with this literary master piece to achieve a series of layered abstract paintings reminiscent of the French country side, love, lust and all their intricacies.

Le dévoilement de ma nouvelle série de peintures abstraites Émotions prendra place durant trois expositions estivales. Les oeuvres inspirées du roman de Flaubert, Madame Bovary, seront en vue au Langham Cultural Centre à Kaslo, Bijou à Nelson, C-B ainsi qu'à la boutique The Cross à Vancouver

Quel privilège que de travailler avec ce chef d'oeuvre littéraire pour réaliser une série de peintures qui rapelle la province française, l'amour, le désir et toutes leurs intrigues.

Collection of Conté à Paris squares. Nicolas Jacques Conté, a painter, chemist, physicist, hot air baloonist and inventor started a pencil factory in 1795. It’s still going strong today. I just love using materials that have a connection
I framed this artwork for myself. I am glad I did. Everytime I see it I am reminded how I love working with colour, transparency and texture. It inspires me to get into the studio and create some more.
