Marie-Eve Champagne

Into the Deep, Abstract Painting

2024

Artist Comments
The painting explores deconstruction and movement, questioning whether something broken can remain whole. Lines connect, disconnect, and reconnect, creating a visual harmony that emerges from the blend of earthy greens, deep blues and ochres against a mint-washed background. High contrast and delicate contours drive the composition, serving the theme of (de)fragmentation, while unity prevails as each brushstroke weaves seamlessly into the next.

About the Artist
Artist Marie-Eve Champagne depicts representational and abstract subjects through organic forms with clean planes, thick outlines, and blocks of color. Her compositions, guided by movement and carefully selected palettes, convey a profound sense of unity, articulating concepts inspired by her surroundings. Trained in Fine Arts and Museum Studies, she values the importance and complexity of the viewer's reception to her practice. "Whether I'm painting a rock, a plant, or a building façade, I wish for people to be surprised, to feel the urge to look again and reflect on what they observe," says Marie-Eve. She paints in a charming yet cluttered studio in her home in San Diego County, with good music in the background and a big cup of coffee by her side. Beyond her artistic pursuits, she expertly manages the daily chaos and joys of being a mother of three.
