ENERGY EXPRESSED THROUGH COLOUR AND FORM
Montreal, Canada / London, UK
Isabelle Beaubien
Isabelle Beaubien is a Canadian-British abstract artist who creates work rooted in colour as both medium and language, exploring its psychology and the ways it shapes emotion, memory, and physical response. Rejecting traditional brushes in favour of tools she designs herself, she applies paint in bold, instinctive strokes that embrace unpredictability, pushing colour, texture, and form to their furthest potential. For Beaubien, colour becomes a universal language, expressing what words cannot; each painting invites the viewer into a personal dialogue, recording her energy in the moment while opening a vibrant space for others to experience their own story.

BIOGRAPHY
ISABELLE BEAUBIEN
Isabelle Beaubien is a Canadian-British abstract artist whose vibrant, movement-driven paintings pulse with energy and emotion. Known for her rich color palettes and bold compositions, her work explores the rhythm of feeling, intention, and human connection. Often mistaken for digital creations, her paintings are in fact entirely handmade - an illusion that opens conversation around process, perception, and the line between technology and touch.
Beaubien holds a Master’s degree in Contemporary Art from the renowned Villa Arson in Nice, France. She designs and builds many of her own tools, applying paint in instinctive, energetic strokes that reflect both control and spontaneity. This approach creates a distinct visual rhythm, capturing the tension and harmony of contemporary life.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and is included in public and private collections across North America, Europe, and Asia. She is a recipient of the Canadian Millennium Scholarship, and her paintings have appeared on the television series Holmes and Holmes. She is represented by leading galleries worldwide and regularly exhibits at international art fairs.
Living and working between Canada and the U.K., Beaubien continues to explore abstraction as a language of connection, relentlessly pushing the limits of colour to evoke emotion, spark dialogue, and energize the spaces her work inhabits.
