Description
Born in Saint John, New Brunswick and currently based in Ottawa, Jeannie Polisuk’s practice includes painting, sculpture, and installation. Through her abstract works she examines themes of memory and identity, inviting the viewer into personal and psychological landscapes.
Her mixed-media paintings are characterized by their large scale, complex patterns and vibrant colours. Her process involves building layers, distilling what is essential and letting go of what is not. The resulting rich, tactile surfaces evoke the complexity of memory that is layered, fragmented, and interwoven.
Jeannie Polisuk earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Ottawa, majoring in painting and sculpture. She is a former member of the Rectory Art House in Ottawa and has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council. Her works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the United States and are held in private and corporate collections.
