Biography
Joyce Fournier is a Canadian multidisciplinary painter and sculptor living and working in Toronto. Art is her true passion and she has had an extensive practice for more than 25 years.
Joyce's current focus is Abstract Expressionist painting using a palette of white, black, and gold to create gestural pieces in a variety of collections inspired by the works of Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Pierre Soulages. It is the immediacy of gestural painting that excites her. She wants those in her audience to see what uniquely speaks to them, depending on their situation.
Her secondary practice is in sculpture, both abstract and figurative. Interpreting the human form was Joyce's first passion for which she was academically trained. Her most recent works are figurative sculptures in Clay and Bronze as well as mixed-media abstract wall sculptures (Formations Series).
Over the last fifteen years, Joyce has exhibited in solo and group shows within Canada and internationally. Featured on several occasions in American Art Collector magazine since 2009, her work is found in private and public collections in Canada, the USA, and Europe.

Ode to Joan Mitchell
This series is a collection of works inspired by the paintings of American artist Joan Mitchell (1925 - 1992). I have always had a fond admiration for Mitchell's spontaneous style, and many of my recent works have somehow 'morphed' into creations along those lines

BRAVO À VOUS, JOYCE FOURNIER
Thank you so much Coco for your beautiful comment on my work!!
Très belle énergie qui vibre par-delà votre oeuvre et qui est très bien perceptible par le spectateur grâce au choix judicieux de couleurs dégradées insensiblement du bleu au vert . Félicitations c'est une oeuvre magnifique !
Merci Beaucoup Francois!
MAGNIFIQUE VIVACITÉ ET EUPHORIE EXALTANTE.

Merci encore Francois-Pierre!
À la fois une grande lumière physique, spirituelle, et émotionnelle. Une expressivité gestuelle qui traduit une grande réflexion méditative. Une œuvre remarquable.
Merci Beaucoup Coco!
Très belle oeuvre qui captive notre regard instantanément , félicitations !
Œuvres très inspirantes ! J'aime beaucoup la série "Fluid"👏
Merci Beaucoup Nathalie!!
Une gestuelle et des coloris très expressifs et particulièrement touchants. Savoir faire chanter les couleurs comme cela c’est une très grande qualité artistique qui n’est pas donnée à tous les artistes. Une œuvre d’art qui a vraiment une belle âme. Divinement magnifique!
Merci Beaucoup Francois-Pierre!
Merci pour l'ajout de mes œuvres à cette belle collection !
Magnifique frénésie poétique et intense dans l’art de sublimer la couleur rose, devenant la plus belle de toutes les couleurs! Une œuvre qui a demandé un grand savoir-faire et une grande maturité artistique pour s’exprimer aussi "spontanément" et de façon aussi remarquable.
Une oeuvre audacieuse par sa force, sa composition, et son geste débridé. J’aime la liberté exaltante de cette artiste.
Quelles féérie et poésie de la couleur ! Un hymne à la gloire de vivre et à l’émerveillement.
Un art d’une grande vivacité et instantanéité, d’un grand dynamisme.
Artistique.
Thanks for adding ! Beautiful work !
This is so wonderful thank you so much for your kind words!!
Merci Beaucoup Francois-Pierre!!
Formidable œuvre époustouflante qui nous rentre directement dans l’âme et le corps, une œuvre d’une puissance authentique, un aboutissement expressif total. Une œuvre très impressionnante en symbiose avec la force de la vie et de l’univers, on y sent toute la grandeur de cette artiste.
Remarquable œuvre de par son dynamisme et sa profondeur. Une œuvre très inspirée et d’une grande vérité et authenticité, car directement sortie du subconscient. Une œuvre d’une grande beauté et très passionnelle qui ne peut laisser personne indifférent. Une pièce impressionnante qui marque en profondeur et qui est issue d’une artiste dotée d’une grande âme. Joyce Fournier est l’artiste peintre abstraite canadienne la plus impressionnante.
Merci pour l'ajout de mes tableaux à votre collection et je vous souhaite une très bonne et belle année 2025.
