Johanne Brouillette is a French-Canadian abstract artist. She studied and painted figurative landscapes in oil for many years but chose not to exhibit or sell these works. In 2016, after attending an abstract workshop, she immediately found her new passion. Inspired by Québec Automatistes painters such as Riopelle, Borduas, and Ferron, she has found freedom of expression in abstraction pursued through automatism: an instinctive, unpremeditated form of creating art, and has created a fresh language all her own.
The artist is a jury elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists, the Federation of Canadian Artists and Mondial Art Academia in France. Her abstract paintings have been included in over 60 regional, national and international juried exhibits and have been awarded several prizes. In 2019, her art appeared in the Art Edit section of House & Garden Magazine (UK) and was featured in Spotlight Contemporary Art Magazine (France). Named by Folio Annual as one of the best emerging abstract artists of 2019, her artworks were published in their inaugural book in May of 2020. In July of 2020, she received the prestigious Antoinette Stevens Award – Best in Show, from the Society of Canadian Artists.
Brouillette’s work is included in collections of private and corporate collections throughout North America and Europe.
