My paintings spring from a palette of raw, crude colours which I combine on the canvas after a Mediterranean slant and a touch of fauve. They are an adaptation to the moment and the environment'' JOCE

ABOUT JOCE
Joce paints the great outdoors of Quebec where she now and , where the seasons are imbued with the permanent renewal of colors.
The spatial arrangements occupy the entire surface and convey a feeling of going beyond the limits, the bounds. JOCE paints using oil and knife.Exuding an ever-renewed vitality, her painting reveal a constant evolution, animated by a unique chromatic rhythm . From impasto to fluidity, the artist gives body to her paintings with generously colored flat areas which contribute to the thickness of the matter. In addition, you need to know more about it.
JOCE's works'impression of energy and vitality rest mainly with ther vigourous colors.
JOCE is a strongly assertive colourist. Her colours call one another as in a sort of echo, then, upon the artist releasing the trait and allowing the tones to evolbve through subtle gradations, the layers end up disposing themselves one by one through various combinations.
The layers are arranged one by one according to a set of variations.
The white areas articulate the movement.
The light, reinforced by the flat white areas, articulates the movement.
''The thick touches of white, in heavey solid flat surfaces, are present in almost all my works, and convey an emphasis on contrast and strength''.
The whites only add to the sense of mystery in the painting, while the neutral tones, as a bridge between beauty and dreams, participate in the invisible, the hidden, the elusive, the unknown and delineate a space out of which anything can emerge.
JOCE, painter, expressionnist and colorist : a blend of Collioure and Québec spirits. In a contemporary style, hal fway between abstract and figurative art.
Borrowing from both approaches, the artist's pictorial gesture never breakstotally away from any rendition of reality. with any form of transcription of reality.
Joce's figurative touch allows for anchoring landmarks while giving free rein to the imagination for the more abstract part.
One almost always distinguishes the underlying trait which in a landscape, seen or perceived , evokes the atmosphere of the Belle Province as Cap-à-l'Aigle, an ice hockey goalie… Not to mention the sailboats on the St. Lawrence.
“I love to paint the movement of sailboats and water, both on the shores of the St. Lawrence, where the tides born in the North Atlantic can be left, and on the shores of the Mediterranean in my nativeFrance. "
The same visual vibration takes hold of both the sailor and the city-dweller.
The artist welds the sea and the sky to carry the viewer away,; a sta as in a constantly moving relation to the world. . The poetic charge springs from the movement of the water. From the obvious to the enigma, the floating representations build up into an imaging force.
The sea world and the city world eventually become encompassed and blended by the same visual vibration thus reinforcing the contrast between frimness and frailty and permanence and instability.
