Patrice Désilets
Artistic approach
Désilets’s aesthetic resides somewhere between figurative and abstract disciplines. He likes to invite his particular and recognizable characters into his abstracts paintings. Creation and practice are determined by emotional impulse. He starts his paintings by physically throwing paint onto the canvas, blending desired colours and intuitively creates an atmosphere with his hands. Désilets uses acrylic paint, pencils, oil pastels and collage. He feels that painting with tools takes away the authenticity of the organic experience of painting. Désilets only uses brushes and other painting tools as a mean to refine his work.
