Pascal Courcelles

Born in Brussels in 1956, Courcelles studied art at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels and in

Tournai, between 1972 and 1979. Since then, he has built a vibrant artistic path, with solo and

group exhibitions across Belgium, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, and beyond. But it is his visual language

that leaves the deepest impression: profoundly sensorial, composed of layers, material, and color,

not as an end, but as a process.

His painting is part of a material lineage, where comparisons have been made with Michel Frère

or even Eugène Leroy. But unlike Leroy, whose brushstroke carried a nearly tragic pathos,

Courcelles paints from a vital impulse, in celebration of life. With each gesture bursts forth the joy

of color, the pleasure of chromatic vibration. His admiration for Riopelle is clear: both artists

explore the interweaving and layering of color, often in their pure state, explosive, like emotional

fireworks. 

The work of Pascal Courcelles does not ask to be understood — it asks to be felt. It is vibration,

intuition, pleasure. And above all, it is a celebration of what is most simple and most essential: the

joy of painting.
