Artist's interpretation of the work:
Fugacious is a term used to refer to something that only lasts a very short time. Very often, what is ephemeral is also very beautiful and seems to slip through our fingers in a very short time. I wanted to express this concept in painting, by representing the beautiful flowers of a cherry tree. With its many colorful and sumptuous flowers, this tree located on my street brightens up the whole neighborhood every spring. I would have loved to be able to see it day after day, but in the space of one stormy night, all the beauty was gone by morning.
There are often things in life that we would like to keep for long periods of time, but unfortunately they are only momentary and fleeting. This phenomenon of impermanence reminds us of the importance of appreciating the present moment, and of marveling at all those little things that are only passing, and that we can often only keep with us as a memory.
Fugace - Chantal Bourque
Through her realism style paintings, Chantal is guided by the way colors, shapes and light interact in harmony with nature. Her approach is meticulous, her brush strokes are precise and delicate. Her artistic technique is constantly evolving and it is with the exploration of different mixed media that she gradually abandons oil painting, in order to devote herself for several years only to acrylic. With time, Chantal adds more and more textures to the trunks she paints, and now integrates real pieces of bark, which become the common thread in all her works.
Her work is above all a tribute to trees. Through her paintings, this artist is constantly looking for a way to express the feelings that they give off for her: resilience, strength, rootedness, originality, hope, singularity, mystery, well-being and impermanence.
Through her work, Chantal hopes to encourage people to live in connection with nature, and also to respect it. An awareness that the human being is partly interrelated to this grandiose nature, which can bring us so many benefits.
