Quebec artist Jacinthe Rivard took the DeSerres prize for painting at the 2024 Artist Project in Toronto, not a surprise given the popularity of her colorful contemporary work. She calls it nostalgic realism in oil.
Her muse is the light: “I love the way it reflects on a glass bottle, metal or even a plastic wrapper.”

These are cool, very comic-booky. A number of them do seem like things I would have played with when I was a kid!
I like the reference to comic booky, I agree. Great point. Thank you for commenting.
the painterly equivalent of Latin American authors’ “magic realism”
yes, exactly!
It really is fantastic, such vibrant colors too!
Amazing.
Absolutely love these.
I’m with you on that!
