Catherine Guinot

Born: 1971

Hometown: Montréal

Based in: Paris

French-Canadian Artist. My work has been exhibited in several countries and is represented by several galleries. Listed since November 2022

I studied Interior Architecture and Textile Design: an atypical path marked by pictorial and digital experiments. I work in many mutually-enriching fields, ranging from design, textile, graphics, 3D and 3D printing to painting, drawing, etc., moving from one to the other in a fluid, natural way.

I discovered felt-tip pens when I was very young: a revelation! They have never left me since. Since then, my toolbox has expanded considerably. Pictorial practice gradually became an essential part of my life; more than a means of expression, it’s almost a necessity!

Everything interests and inspires me: sensations, emotions, conversations, memories, dreams, press articles, a word, a book, a photo, a poster, an exhibition, a conference, a trip, a nature getaway, a multitude of subjects... Of course, in this WHOLE, there is a direction; my senses, my mind, my soul are wired to capture what especially moves me, with a predilection for nature and its beauty. If we only pay attention, beauty and harmony are all around us, sometimes well hidden and yet...

Color is my golden thread, my main tool. Imagination and fantasy are part of the process. Then comes expression, experimentation, exploration... My quest.

 



Catherine Guinot In The Studio

Each style of painting has its own story: the stripes tell the story of a multi-faceted recovery. After a very serious sports injury, I turned into some kind of pixelated image...For a suspended time, I lived from the inside, my body stretched flat. Those paintings show the path of my resurrection, every movement a victory, every gradation a hymn to life, its accomplishment almost a miracle!
