Jayé Ouellette has been a professional artist for over 30 years and is an autodidactic artist. Since moving from Toronto to Nova Scotia, her work has continued to receive serious acclaim. Most notably Ouellette’s work was selected for the groundbreaking exhibition ‘Terroir: a Nova Scotia Survey’ at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax. Her work was also included in the exhibition ‘Capture: Nova Scotia Realism’, curated by Tom Smart, director of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Jayé has had numerous solo exhibitions. She has been the recipient of several grants and awards. Ouellette’s work has been exhibited in Canada, the US and France. Her paintings can be found in many private, public and corporate collections.

Artist Statement:

By constant observation, I strive to understand the Ocean’s mysterious magnetism, eternally changing and yet forever the same. Water embodies the concept of endlessness, of complexities repeated from one drop to the vast sea, so powerful yet so very fragile. Those fleeting traits impress only on memory. I paint the Ocean as the mind understands it – not a precise recording, nor the rendering of an impressionist’s flourish, but something between the two. My work is built around those singular details, focusing on creating movement and luminosity. My depictions are purely of water, without land, sky or scale, one is lost, consumed, ensnared. The paintings capture a slice of time that the ocean will never again replicate. I notice these moments through visceral reflex. These are the elements that move me and compel me to depict the Ocean. I paint the sea itself, caught in its persistent motion, a meditative reflection on this ancient body, at times so violent and other times so serenely beautiful, that has birthed legend, tragedy, life.

Jayé Ouellette est une artiste autodidacte qui oeuvre professionnellement depuis plus de 30 ans. Depuis qu’elle a quitté Toronto pour la Nouvelle-Écosse, elle continue d’être acclamée pour son talent.  En outre, Jaye a été invitée à participer à l’exposition innovatrice ‘Terroir: a Nova Scotia Survey’ à la galerie Art Gallery of Nova Scotia à Halifax. Son oeuvre a aussi fait partie de l’exposition ‘Capture: Nova Scotia Realism’ réalisée par Tom Smart, directeur de la galerie Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Jayé a eu de nombreuses exposition en solo. Elle est la récipiendaire de plusieurs subventions et prix. Son oeuvre a été exposé au Canada, aux États-Unis et en France. Ses peintures se retrouvent dans plusieurs collections corporatives, publiques et privées.

Déclaration de l’artiste:

En l’observant constamment, je cherche à comprendre le magnétisme mystérieux de l’océan, changeant perpétuellement et pourtant demeurant inchangé. L’eau incarne la notion de l’infinitude, de la complexité répétée d’une goutte d’eau dans une vaste mer, si puissante cependant si fragile. Ces traits passagers ne marquent que la mémoire. Je peins l’océan comme le cerveau le comprend – ce n’est pas un enregistrement précis, ni   une interprétation de l’épanouissement impressionniste, mais quelque chose entre les deux. Mon travail repose sur ces détails singuliers. Je mets l’accent sur la création du mouvement et de la luminosité. Mes représentations reflètent uniquement l’eau. Sans terre, ni ciel, ni échelle, on se perd, on est absorbé, on est piégé. Mes peintures capturent une tranche du temps que l’océan ne reproduira plus jamais. Je remarque ces moments grâce à des réflexes vicéraux. Ces choses m’émeuvent et m’incitent à dépeindre l’océan. Je peins l’océan même, dans son mouvement perpétuel, une réflexion méditative sur cette étendue ancienne, parfois tellement violente et d’autres fois d’une beauté tellement sereine, qui a donné naissance à des légendes, des tragédies, et à la vie.
