Event: INVITED ARTIST at the Annual Exhibition of the Bonsai and Penjing Society of Montreal

I was invited by the BPSM as a visual artist to exhibit my sumie-inspired drawings. Among other things, a series of twenty drawings on shikishi (24.1 x 27.3 cm) will be available for sale. Because they harmonize perfectly with the presentation of a bonsai, these drawings can be hung on the back wall of an exhibition niche.

Event: Sumi-e inspired works by Jules Morissette
Dates: 4 Jun 2022 - 5 Jun 2022
I let my unconscious express itself in the creation of my monochrome works. The realization here is strongly influenced by sumi-e, a Japanese art characterized by the relative stripping of the composition.
Event: Au coeur des grands espaces
Dates: 2 Oct 2021 - 14 Nov 2021
The exhibition is both a foray into the artist's mind and an exploration of the landscapes that inspire him. It comes in four parts: Subjects, Zen, Allegories and Exploration.
SUBJECTS
Inspiring by their beauty and vastness, the mountains and the great St. Lawrence River are the two recurring subjects of Jules Morissette's corpus. Offering both a far-reaching reach to the gaze while arousing a certain meditation, these subjects allow the artist to express the inner peace that inhabits him in contact with the beauties of nature.
ZEN
The creation of the artist’s monochrome works is strongly influenced by sumi-e. This Japanese art is characterized by the sobriety of the composition. Here the spontaneity of the gesture is essential to the creation of the work. The result is uncluttered works evoking the great spaces accessible by the mind once freed from everyday concerns.
Event: Virtuoses de l'art
Dates: 3 Sep 2021 - 6 Sep 2021

Biography
My intention is to recreate what I feel in front of a particular landscape or context, without limiting myself to the constraints of figurative realism. The majority of my works are done in acrylic on canvas, in color or monochrome.
With a more intimate approach, I let my subconscious express itself in the creation of my monochrome works. The realization here is strongly influenced by sumi-e, a Japanese art characterized by the relative stripping of the composition. It is then a question of knowing how to balance form with emptiness, and above all, knowing when one has "said" enough. My playground is the emptiness of the white canvas, it is the space of a fertile universe of all possibilities.
