Renée aims to depict atmosphere, the emotional state, the relations within buildings, their dynamics in different contexts and cultures, and, hopefully, to bring the observer to see the city differently and to realize the importance of its architecture.
Renée De Gagné is a Montreal-based professional visual artist. Her artwork focuses on urban architecture; it is an expressive statement of its urban dynamics. She works only on cities she knows well and that she visited several times. Working in mixed media enables Renée to innovate and integrate several materials: acrylic paints and mediums, ink, collage, photography, Japanese papers, etc.
Starting from her own photographs and drawings, she researches the history of the buildings that she is interested in and their urban environments. Once the research is completed, she starts painting instinctively and intuitively, keeping in mind memories, stories and pictures.
“My paintings reflect my love of architecture, be it breathtaking towers or ancient constructions. Buildings are an important testimonial of our presence on earth, and my artwork is about this "presence”. I find inspiration in architectural details, textures, reflections, and contrasts formed by complexity and simplicity. Even though one is able to recognize a specific cityscape, the emphasis is not in reproducing reality and authenticity, but rather to record an emotional impression."
