Return Forever, 24" x 30"

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.

Oil on Canvas.

Leading with passion, kindness, and understanding, the color pink embodies all that is good in the world. Pink seeks to make others feel accepted by offering an unmatched level of sympathy. Color pink provides warmth and comfort. Pink can soften formal design, and its influence can lighten up dark, stodgy colors.

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.
