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.

MÉMOIRES ABSTRACT COLLAGE SERIES

JULIE BRETON | MÉMOIRES No.4 - abstract collage

JULIE BRETON | MÉMOIRES No.2 - abstract collage

The MÉMOIRES series explores the fragmented and shifting nature of memory. Drawn from photographs, places and moments remembered, each work brings together fragments of colour, line and image to suggest something familiar yet difficult to fully retrieve.

Working with translucent paper, graphite, coloured pencil, acrylic, canvas and found imagery, I build the compositions in layers—allowing marks to appear, disappear and overlap.

Vintage photographs and postcards discovered in local antique shops introduce traces of other lives and places, blurring the boundary between personal memory and imagined histories.

Rather than documenting a particular moment, the work evokes the way memories are return to us: incomplete, altered by time and often unexpectedly vivid, creating compositions reminiscent of the fleeting moment.
