Our collectors compare Jacques Descoteaux's work to the work of Mark Rothko for the skillful use of formal elements such as colour, balance, depth, and composition in his works.

The color blue has positive effects on the mind and the body. As the color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming and exude feelings of tranquillity. Blue is cooling in nature, and helps with balance and self-expression.

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.
