Nicole Desjardins
Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, Quebec, Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole Desjardins’ artistic practice includes pictorial works where she is particularly interested in drawing, painting and collage. The profusion of nature, human intervention on the environment and the precariousness of the current world are her sources of inspiration. Building, deconstructing and reconstructing, this is the way she intervenes on very real images which she draws to remodel them in a new composition of abstract plastic forms. For that, she works in mixed techniques by combining several processes in the realization of her works. Ink, hand-painted papers, Japanese papers and wasp\u2019s nests are the mediums she uses. For Desjardins, an image, beyond the emotion which it arouses, also represents a layout of lines and colors which she can transform and split to bring it intuitively to a new reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
