Description

I remember the bull I had welcomed into my studio as a model. From this presence was born a painting inhabited by a nocturnal sensation, traversed by a deep and vibrant shadow. Later, I covered this canvas with a rose—a rose of a purple that does not exist in reality, but which botanists dream of.
It's not fidelity to reality that interests me. Beneath the flower, one can guess the mass of the bull, its contained power. What matters to me is the sensation, the sensuality, the energy of the living that surfaces through the painting.

Charles Belle

France  • 1956

Presentation

Charles Belle is a painter whose work is distinguished by a poetic and powerful exploration of nature, often deployed in monumental formats. Starting from reality, the artist goes beyond it to reach the very essence of life. For him, nature is not a subject: it is a state, an energy, a passage towards abstraction.


This is reflected in the film “Beyond the Silences", the result of 16 years of filming in his studio (official JIFA24 selection – Louvre Museum).


In 2023, seven French museums joined forces to present the first major retrospective dedicated to Charles Belle, bringing together more than 1,600 works and offering a cross-sectional view of his career.


Present at the biggest contemporary art fairs — Art Basel, Art Basel Miami, FIAC, Art Brussels, Art Paris, Art on Paper Brussels and FAB Paris — Charles Belle has also been a founding member of the Art Identification Standard (AIS) consortium since 2019.
