Noémie L. Côté
Looking at a piece by Noémie L. Côté, you are hit by the sugar-pop of colour that reimagines the landscapes she brings to life on canvas. It’s hard not to be swept along in the bounce of her impasto strokes and moved by the sheer joy that emanates from her work.
Noémie specializes in vibrant open-impressionist landscapes that capture the essence of a scene, breathe new life into it, and leave the observer uplifted. It’s as if her mind were a prism that takes in white light and disperses the component colours on the rolling hills or through the branches of a tree. This gives her work the quality of blown glass, where colours play off each other and come together to define the feeling of a scene.
In contrast to the chaos of daily life, Noémie finds solace in bringing nature’s soothing beauty to canvas. These days, you can find her plein-air painting in national and provincial parks, snapping pictures of morning light across a lake, or capturing grapevines contrasted with wildflowers in a west coast vineyard.
Her studio is in Ottawa, and her work is featured in Koyman Galleries, Butter Gallery, Crown & Press, Ryan Fine Art Gallery, and on her website.
