Béatrice Côté

Béatrice Côté’s recent practice draws from the play of color in daily life. Through her paintings she aims to reveal the subtle encounter of natural and built environments, honing in on incidental moments and capturing their essence.

Her gaze lingers on oft-overlooked details of the urban landscape—entrance halls, frontages and narrow gardens—inviting us to slow down and take notice. Alternating between detailed work and blurred gestures, Côté investigates the traces and triumphs of nature, as it relates to human presence and interaction.

More than a simple aesthetic experience, Côté’s work reflects a deeper communion with the artist and their impact on the community. It serves as a unique call to preserve both our environmental and cultural heritage.

Béatrice Côté is an artist based in Montreal, Canada, and Brooklyn, NY. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from Concordia University.
