Remembered Light, 36" x 48"

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.

Purple both calms and stimulates our bodies, putting us in the right place for introspection and focused insight. It fosters creativity by awakening our senses while promoting the quiet necessary to make intuitive, insightful observations. Purple creates a harmonious balance of awareness and peace.

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 being close to nature. The landscape that we thought we recognized has become more ambiguous, more mysterious, almost mystical.
