Braise claire — Light in tension
Braise claire is a contemporary abstract painting by Mariclair Plante, created in 2026. Measuring 24 x 24 inches (60.96 x 60.96 cm), this work unfolds within a refined palette of soft greys, nuanced whites, and subtle warm undertones.
At the heart of the composition, a restrained yet vibrant glow emerges like a quiet ember beneath the surface. The painting explores a delicate balance between tension and stillness, where gestural marks, textured layers, and translucent veils interact in a controlled yet intuitive rhythm.
Through this piece, Mariclair Plante continues her exploration of contemporary poetic abstraction, where the visible and the felt coexist. The work invites a contemplative gaze, revealing its depth gradually rather than all at once.
Braise claire is both subtle and expressive, an artwork that resonates through its quiet intensity and luminous presence, making it a sophisticated addition to a modern or curated interior.
