Joani Tremblay is a Canadian artist living and working in Montreal. Tremblay creates abstract spaces on large paper format where one can lose one's self into details, into marks creating formations, masses, structures and movement. She looks closely into how the Neo-Ornamentalism could esthetically lead her research as defined by the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (2010): " Ornamentation is not only an important element of art creation like form and color; in many cases it gives expression or representation to a spiritual realm transcending material existence." In this perspective, the drawing mimics the way organic systems are created and how they develop. This way, the drawing evolves in part on it's own, expanding in a way similar to that of cellular structures.
Tremblay's work has been shown recently in New York, Toronto and throughout Quebec. Her work is part of the Loto-Québec Collection and numerous private collections. She is the recipient of the Vladimir J. Elgart Graduate Scholarship and a research grant from The Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture .
The residence at 3331 marks her first stay in Japan.

An ecosystem takes shape within the drawing, seemingly evolving as lines and dots autonomously expand outwards, like growing tissue.
