The artist
Louise Bariteau
Rosemere
Nature is my primary source of inspiration and reflection. I am fascinated by the effects of wind on water and frost on vegetation. All these natural phenomena inscribe their own trajectory in the material, a bit like embossing. It is also one of my favorite techniques. This process allows me to leave a trace of it in the white of the paper in addition to playing with three-dimensional effects.
The use of handmade paper, such as Saint-Gilles paper, significantly influences my creative process, which is intended to be influenced by the increasingly difficult conditions to which the environment is subjected as well as by the upheavals brought about by global warming.
This is how, as an engraver artist for over 30 years, I never stop exploring and experimenting. In the meantime, it was at the Atelier de l’île de Val-David that I gained my stripes in printmaking thanks to a training that complements my Bachelor of Arts degree well.
Since then, I have had the pleasure of participating in several individual and group exhibitions across the country, including some in Quebec City, British Columbia and Ontario, as well as internationally, in Japan, Belgium, Argentina, Romania, Cuba, Denmark and Finland.
Unframed artwork
Our unframed paper works are sold in plastic protective envelopes designed expressly for the artwork. Your new acquisition will therefore be sent to you in complete safety.
The artwork is slipped into an acid-free plastic envelope with stiff cardboard on the back to prevent any curl in the paper. This envelope is then sealed so that the work remains intact and without contact with dust.
Since the plastic envelope are acid-free, you will be able to keep the artwork in its packaging for several years (or even decades!) without fear of the artwork deteriorating. So you can take the time to choose the perfect frame for your new favorite artwork !
Despite our desire to minimize the use of polluting packaging, unfortunately we have not found yet other solutions to properly protect paper works. However, we are always on the lookout for ways to contribute to the well-being of our planet!
Importantly, paper works should never be placed in direct sunlight, which would deteriorate the colors, despite the protective plastic envelope.
