  • MARCELLE FERRON, R.C.A.
Literature:

A.K. Prakash, Independent Spirit: Early Canadian Women Artists, Firefly Books, Richmond Hill, Ontario, 2008, page 190.

Note:

Known for her trademark richly painted and vibrant compositions, Prakash describes Ferron’s art as a “ritual of sweeping brush strokes on canvas, a technique emphasizing emotional response rather than rationality.” In this particular composition, an abundance of golden ochre sets the stage for twists and garnishes of brilliant, pure colour. Winsor green, rose, violet and a trace of ultramarine, exemplify the passionate emotions of urgency and euphoria.
