Léonel Jules
Born	29 December 1953 (1953-12-29) Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Nationality	Canadian
Known for	Painter, Artist
Movement	Carré Plastique

His approach as an artist[2][3] led him to create territorial languages by the rhythmic movement of a «Carré Plastique». This specific movement in the painting is developed to reveal the structure and pictorial identity. Such as a in game objects are animated in a «painterly vibe» where the elements are being created spontaneously. A particular space of improvisation progressing in an exploration painting's tools.

Community projects

His approach is to build himself through color, texture, to glimpse in the field image and portrayal of what we call identity. This image identity acquires a new dimension in the pictorial space that involves young and old students in an educational experience (Dazibao and arrimage)

Influences

Paul Klee[4] for his interest of drawing rhythms, graphics and above all a presence of spirituality which allows me to find my own African roots. Matisse[5] for a profound discovery of color and collage. Riopelle and les Automatistes[6] Québécois for the idea of a behavior in which I can find a personal energy by the gestures. And then there is inevitably... Picasso, especially his Guernica. In this case I can not speak of influence, but of convergence on how to find transcendence in painting, how to invoke the sky.
