In "Galère du mardi," a large-scale work by Jolic, three sailboats emerge from a stormy sea, carried by invisible winds. The material, sculpted by bare hands, evokes the tumult of waves and the breath of the open sea. The barely defined white sails blend into a vaporous sky where golden light and sea mist mingle. This semi-abstract composition poetically conveys the quiet strength of movement. The cracked textures, the artist's signature, add a tactile and sensory dimension to the scene.

Between figuration and abstraction, the work invites escape, a quest for freedom, in an inner landscape imbued with silence. Jolic, a contemporary painter based in Quebec, explores here the theme of travel and return to oneself. A vibrant homage to the sea, the wind, and the memory of horizons.
