ORGANIC ABSTRACTS
TAO
Rooted in optimism for the new year a new ‘organic abstract’ series' unfolded. Initially inspired by driftwood and the exceptional shapes mother nature creates and developed further while studying the teachings of Lau Tsu in the Tao Te Ching.
ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS
SMALL NUDE PAINTINGS
In a response to both the Covid pandemic and the volatile political climate during the end of 2020 a new series was born. They are all in a small scale (10x10” or smaller) which enabled me to capture the essence of the moment before it passed.
ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS
NUDE FIGURE PAINTINGS
I do not think of my figures as nude but rather as vulnerable and I view the courage to be vulnerable as strength. I see their nudity as the purest and honest way to portray an emotion/moment.
6 x 6” PAPER ABSTRACTS
SMALL ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
During the end of 2020 / beginning of 2021 I drew inspiration from the events unfolding around me. Representational work seemed unequipped to express my state of mind so I threw my planning out of the window and give way to impulsion. These are all small works done with mixed media on paper like the pages of a diary.
”Antoine's art evokes so many emotions. We were fortunate to purchase a small piece at an art show nearly a decade ago, and recently purchased another from her website. It was an amazing experience all along the way, from purchase and communication through shipping and delivery. We are so thankful to have Antoine's beautiful work in our home.”
