CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
Marie Rioux
Lives and works in Quebéc City , Canad
M y painting is the product of an irrepressible impulse which pushes me to express and communicate my emotions without hesitation . First , I picture the dominant colour I wish to explore . Then my ideas unfold with a multitude of options .
Through spontaneous gestures , there then cornes the pleasure of mixing colours , sketching shapes and bringing out textures . An initial composition emerges , followed by a considerable labour of reconstruction , leading to the final work . Recently , I have been working with monochromes , which adds a dramatic touch to my atmospheres . The places I depict in my work are mostly my own . They are North American and of the present . Sometimes one may see in them figures present in particular atmospheres .
As I create I incorporate unusual elements into the work , which in a discordant manner echo our presence and our traces in the contemporary environment .
