Nicole Purger
was born and resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She began her art
career with formal training at Grant Mac Ewan College and traveled to
Europe on several occasions where she was further influenced by the
stylized works of Henri Rousseau and Franz Marc. Purger gained from
them knowledge and experience in color theory and distinctive
compositions, using bold, vibrant colors combined with stylized
meticulous realism.
Nicole Purger’s
acrylic paintings are executed with great pictorial ability, the artist
emphasizes colors with a chromatic and remarkable richness. Purger’s
paintings are strong in design and rich in color, and often she looks
for interesting contrasts of shapes, patterns, textures and values in
the subjects she chooses to paint.
Purger’s compositions
are often dramatic, offering the viewer a magical encounter with exotic
animals and multi-layered still life’s, where a simple arrangement of
flowers becomes a forest of untamed color and beauty to be explored.
The combinations of color and tone variance make her paintings of
zebra’s and other works of art appear surreal, and helping to contribute
to a style of painting that is uniquely her own.
