Claudette Losier

Artist Statement

In Sense of Place, described as a “surreal abstract impressionism” of the urban scene, Claudette Losier is abstracting an inner and outer reality, revealing reflections of nature and memory to evoke a Sense of Place. Claudette’s paintings are rooted in the physical world but are altered through the process of layering until forms emerge from the boundary where light meets the dark, indicative of an underlying energy. These paintings border on abstraction of form, creating a dream scape quality that could change at any given moment, not unlike life itself – always in the process of change.

Claudette paints abstractly her city scenes as if they are being seen through a microscope, beneath which buildings, lights, and moving cars are more alive than their inert material suggests. The scenes represent a reality where there are no physical boundary lines, where matter is in a state of continuous connection between the living and the non-living, where inorganic matter is not inert but living under the action of multitudinous forces.

Claudette paints the urban world like a garden full of delicious colours, shapes, and sacred fire energy to create a dialogue with the Sense of Place. She not only paints with brushes, but also energy – meaning she puts the intention of sacred fire energy frequency to be in a physical object (the painting) so that viewers and collectors may receive a positive energy effect and benefit. As an energy practitioner of various modalities and intuitive reader, Claudette’s art and life is all about sacred fire energy vibrational frequency. The great scientist Nikola Tesla said “If you want to know the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Claudette's life is about vibration and that becomes her expressions in her city scapes!
