Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Join Carolyn B as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Third Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season has been launched, take a peak!
If you know of anyone who would like to have an interview on their creative practice send me an email at: creativelythinking.blog@gmail.com. This is the best compliment you can give us, and keeps the creative discussion moving and growing. Changing and influencing others to share and propel inspiration forward.
Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Episode #2 Shining Through: Jacques Descoteaux
Jacques background is accounting, while his passion is art in a multitude of mediums. Practicing his craft for 25+ years he has woven an intricate tapestry of artwork that has a range many would be intrigued by. He loves the process of working with his inspiration - where he grew up in Northern Quebec, and the places he likes to travel.
Inspired by landscapes, although the longer you look at these compositions the more you begin to see the thin layers that he uses to 'have the images create themselves.' That the layers he applied previously shine through the layers painted thinly on top. This he admits must be from his experience with working with pastels.
Primarily Jacques uses oil paint, but he also works with watercolour, sculpture, pastel and a range of other mediums to capture the atmosphere, the emotion evoked by nature. To catch the essence of a space and time. Amongst his mediums he pauses time with his compositions of stillness.
