NY, 10001) is proud to present Carol

from Canada. Scheduled to run from October 1st through
October 21st, the collection will feature a captivating selection
of Carol Bernier's energetic
paintings.
About Carol Bernier:
Crossing
barriers of language and culture, Carol
Bernier’s incredibly lush paintings speak directly to our most
fundamental sensibilities. Her abstractions represent the range of human
emotion, with the energizing hues of reds and yellows to the deep tones of
tempestuous skies and fearsome oceans. Much akin to the techniques of
watercolor painting, Bernier mixes numerous layers of oil paint with varnish
and other nontraditional mixed media to create stunning effects with texture
and color. These captivating works appeal to our central awareness, rather than
telling a story through pictures, the work affronts us with smoldering grit or
sooths the soul with creamy hues. By reducing the picture plane to such a pure
abstraction, the audience must examine themselves in relation to what is seen,
creating a genuine interaction between artist and viewer.
Carol Bernier holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree from the University of Québec
in Montréal, and she has exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada, the United
States, Mexico
and Europe. She lives and works in Montréal.
