aerials
These abstract works on paper are built up with many layers of material and embedded mark making, opacity and transparency. The drawing/painting/collages have come to represent imagined landscapes, city streets and architectural structures that I have encountered. Having spent numerous hours on airplanes travelling high above the land that I later explore using Google maps to orientate myself, I oscillate between the aerial perspective and being physically within a space. I feel that these experiences have made their way into these series of two -dimensional work. I use various mediums including chalk pastel, oil paint printed papers, and graphite.

Nicole LeBoutillier is a Canadian artist.
Her work delves into representations of place pulling from practices of mapping using drawing and collage techniques. Through the processes of accumulation and assembling objects, on one level the work is a reflection of her physical environment and on another a distillation of personal experience.
She is known for wall installations of assembled shapes and abstract drawings which employ mixed techniques using combinations of drawing, collage and colour.
