Nicole Lemelin
 

“My demarche rests on the premise that the images which spout out from the creative process are questions rather than answers. And, although it is tempting to give a interpretation of them, I believe each observer must be free to engage the image without the interference imposed by the interpretations of the artist or other viewers.”

Born in Quebec City,Nicole maintains studios in both Montreal, PQ and Palenville, NY. During the early 1990s she was part of the avant garde exhibits at Gallery Rouge in Quebec City and by the mid-90s had connected with similar minded artists, working in the Hudson Valley of New York. At the turn of the millennium, she was part of the Cross Street Gallery stable of painters and exhibited in the gallery’s major exhibits, curated by Bernard X Bovasso, involving: ‘Expressionistic paintings of the Abstract kind’(refer partial exhibit list).


As an artist, her interests span ‘exploration to interpretation’, the paradox between research and statement. Each piece being a marker, a fragment of reality, arriving through a creative process; interpretation arriving after the fact, quit apart from any personalisms of the artist; and allowing, as much as possible, a freedom of interpretation to the viewer.

About the Artist

At the beginning, each piece starts without reference to any concept or predefine imagery. In a sense, I let myself be guided through the different steps of the creative process by feeling rather than thinking. Throughout that process many contradictions, paradoxes and/or coincidence/synchronicity confront me. These are all part of my experience and help to transcend the complexity.

Is there a way to be free from the attachment to a predetermined intention? Is there any answer to the human quest of its own essence? What is that etheric nature of human experience; and how can one translate it through a personal experience/process? Transcending the individual experience to better express the collective event is part of my quest.
