Artist Statement
Painting induces me to write a story about myself through the subject matter of my work. Instinctively the motif is speaking, inviting me to paint. Magic and fantasy emerges and a story begins on canvas.
In observing, I simplify and start composing with shapes and color. I visualize myself in the atmosphere and have a sensation of directing a symphony, paint and brushes integrate with movement and expression. The colors sing and become alive. Creating in my studio surrounded by artworks, books cherished selected items and music draws out the child in me.
My recent representations are bolder and simple where harmony and spontaneity echoes.
Biography
Gisèle Lapalme was born in Iroquois Falls, Ontario in 1953. At the age of 13, I was supported by my parents and enrolled in a 3-year course with Norman Rockwell Famous Artist School for talented young people in Connecticut, US. An exciting journey of artistic world emerged. Inspired by people around me and the marsh landscape of Northern Ontario I strived to capture the essence of the bold landforms of the everlasting wilderness. Gisèle left Ontario in 1977 to Prince George B.C., 1979 to Chicoutimi, Québec, 1997 to Barrie, Ontario and returning to Québec in 2000.
