PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist by the present Private Collector, Montreal

Marcelle Ferron’s luscious, vivid works demonstrate above all her keen understanding of colour. She mixed and formulated her own paints, which are as fresh today as if they were just applied, and as a master of stained glass, she was keenly aware of how colour interacts with light. There is a luminous sense of charged energy and movement in Étincelle – Fête, from the sparkle of the blue in the lower right quadrant to the intensity conveyed by Ferron’s other chosen pigments as they move around the canvas in their urgent dash. The frenetic – mainly green – swoop at the top of the work grabs at the other colours as it leaps into an upward motion and seems, almost, to leave the canvas and fly into the air. Ferron controls her colours and their movement with artful ease, balancing blue against white against red against black, using her palette knives. This further demonstrates her absolute understanding of colour and tells us that for her, the painting really began on the palette.
