Bleu Marin, 2025

Pascal Courcelles  

Edition 1/1.

Unique piece – signed by the artist.

A symphony of color and texture, “Bleu Marin" (2025) is a profound testament to Pascal Courcelles' mastery of gesture and matter. This one-of-a-kind mixed media painting is an immersive visual field — richly layered, intuitively composed, and emotionally charged.

The surface of the canvas is alive with movement. Soft lavenders, creamy whites, lemon yellows, aquamarine greens, and lilacs swirl and collide in an intricate choreography of color. From afar, the work evokes a drifting underwater garden or the shimmering reflection of a marine landscape. Up close, it reveals a topography of thick paint, sculpted with the hand and palette knife, forming peaks, ridges, and flowing passages of pure pigment.

“Bleu Marin" is a singular composition — edition 1/1 — created through a direct, physical relationship with the materials. There is no preparatory sketch, no formula. Each area of the canvas is the result of a decision made in the moment: a trace of the artist's intuition and touch. Courcelles treats the canvas not only as a surface, but as a space to be inhabited by color and energy.

The emotional depth and tactile presence of this piece make it a strong addition to any collection. Courcelles has exhibited widely across Europe and Japan, and his work is known for its ability to transform color and gesture into something deeply moving. This painting offers not only aesthetic richness but also a sensory experience — one that evolves over time and reveals new elements with each viewing.

The surface is densely textured, with layers of paint applied so thickly they create their own physical architecture. The painting's condition is impeccable, and it is ready to hang. Light plays an essential role — the work changes with the environment, offering subtle shadows and highlights that amplify its dimensional quality.

“Bleu Marin" is ideal for collectors who value materiality, complexity, and emotional resonance in contemporary painting. It carries a timeless energy — both meditative and expressive — and makes a bold visual statement without ever losing its poetic undertone.
