Artist
Josée Lord was born in 1964 in Trois-Rivières. A self-taught painter, her foray into art started
at a young age. Her painting is distinguished by colors that are at once intense and warm, earth
tones, ochre, sienna and umber meet yellow cadmium and vibrant red to shape the perspective of her still-life flowers.
The way in which she displays wall hangings and cloths creates a blissful ambiguity where content and form blends : sometimes the still-life flowers become the content and the wall-hanging takes its place as the main subject, sometimes the role is reversed and the flowers advance to the foreground, and the process begins again, to the delight of the onlooker.
A black pastel stroke outlines the contours of the forms. The artist applies this stroke with her own hands. She is compelled to come into direct contact with the materials, to touch them in order to bring out
their sensuality.
Her works appear in several private collections in Canada, United-States and Europe.
