Description
This abstract composition from 1989 explores the play of masses and contrasts.
The eye is immediately drawn to a dense central block, with brown and earthy tones.
This dark heart is anchored in the canvas with an affirmed materiality.
It stands out with sharpness against a pristine white background, creating a sensation of space and breathing.
The artist surrounds this ensemble with an irregular frame, in beige and ochre hues.
The application of acrylic reveals precise work on the superposition of layers.
The paint seems to fade and reappear, suggesting an architectural depth.
Certain touches of green and yellow are discreetly inserted into the central mass.
These luminous flashes bring a visual balance to the rigor of the forms.
The canvas plays with the tension between full and empty.
The whole is structured around an intuitive geometry, where the edges fade to make way for a contemplative atmosphere.
The texture of the canvas remains visible beneath the pigments, highlighting the authenticity of the gesture.
Presentation
Jean-Claude Coutaz was born in 1944 in Saint-Maurice VS. He began his studies at the Collège de Saint-Maurice following the classical Latin-English track, continued them at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (EPFL) from which he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering.
It was in 1972 that he settled in Sion with his wife and opened his own engineering office.
JCC began painting in 1980 and since then his technique has continued to evolve.
