Opening Reception: Sunday, April 13, 2025, 4-6pm

Claudette Losier’s Energiescape paintings are informed by nature’s organic shapes and colours creating her unique style of art as “surreal abstract impressionism” of the scene, capturing the essence of energy shaped by her models of people, objects and movements as an expression of life, a sense of place, memory, or dream!  Claudette prefers to call her art energiescapes rather than urban or rural or landscapes because she feels energy is the direction of her life that informs her expression in art!

In her vision, life is far from static; it moves, sings, and flickers. Her pieces capture the dynamic energy and indomitable spirit of life. The Energiescapes= exhibition invites us into Claudette’s world, where the energiescape is alive and buzzing. Her art evokes a sense of unease yet leaves us strangely energized. 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. As you explore Energiescape, may you find yourself drawn into the rhythm of life and emerge revitalized, carrying a piece of  that energy with you.
