KASLO EXHIBITION

Abstract Art Exhibition Install day in Kaslo BC - Julie Breton Art

There is something about Kaslo that has always inspired me—the mountains, the lake, the old houses and the feeling that time almost stops here for a moment. I’m so happy to now have a permanent exhibition at Bluebelle Bistro, one of my favourite places in this beautiful historic town. The walls bring together limited editions from my last three series, alongside exclusive prints, framed works and a small collection of stickers created especially for Bluebelle.

I love the idea of art living outside the traditional gallery—somewhere you can discover it over coffee, lunch or an afternoon spent wandering through Kaslo. Artwork can be purchased directly at the bistro or ordered through my website, where additional sizes are also available, with free shipping. Come for the food, stay for the art, and take a little bit of Kaslo home with you.

GALLERY MATTHIEU DUBUC PARIS

MATTHIEU DUBUC GALLERY PARIS

JULIE BRETON | GLACIER MACBETH

I’m pleased to share that a selection of my work is now available through Matthieu Dubuc Gallery in Paris.

As a French-Canadian artist, having my work shown in Paris is especially meaningful to me. I have long been drawn to the city’s extraordinary artistic history, particularly Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, when it became a meeting place for artists and new ideas. The work of Henri Matisse, particularly his fearless approach to colour, has had a lasting influence on the way I think about painting.

There is something wonderful about seeing paintings created in my studio find their way to a city that has occupied such an important place in my imagination. Seeing my own work there feels like a connection between the artists and places that have inspired me and the work I am creating today.

I’m honoured to have my work shown alongside established international artists including Piotr Strelnik, Daoud and Diana Sanchez. The gallery brings together artists from diverse backgrounds and practices, creating a dialogue between different cultures, perspectives and artistic voices.

For me, this is an exciting new chapter and an opportunity to deepen my connection with the Parisian art world.

ATMOSPHERE SERIES

JULIE BRETON ART | FOREBODING

JULIE BRETON ART | BREAK THROUGH

The ATMOSPHERE series explores the direct relationship between weather and emotion—how changes in light, colour and atmospheric conditions can influence the way we feel. Created during the long, often stormy winters of British Columbia, the paintings reflect the shifting moods of the landscape and their emotional counterpart.

Layers of blue, turquoise, soft pink and grey move across the surface, interrupted by darker passages and unexpected areas of colour. Rather than depicting a particular landscape, the paintings translate weather into an emotional experience, moving between calm and turbulence, lightness and intensity.

A selection of original paintings from the ATMOSPHERE series is available, along with limited edition in a range of sizes.
