Shade of White, 48" x 48"

One of our collectors compared Jacques Descoteaux work to the work of Mark Rothko for the skillful use of formal elements such as colour, balance, depth, and composition in his works.

Oil on Canvas.

Toronto-based abstract artist Jacques Descoteaux is inspired by the landscape, but his paintings go beyond the landscape. They are about memory, the atmosphere, and the impression left from the experience of being close to nature. The landscape that we thought we recognized has become more ambiguous, more mysterious, almost mystical.
