Unique piece – signed by the artist
“Falaise” (2025) by Pascal Courcelles is a vibrant, textural field of color that seems to capture both the erosion of time and the intensity of life in a single surface. This one-of-a-kind mixed media painting is a powerful expression of the artist’s ongoing exploration of gesture, material, and chromatic harmony.
From a distance, the work evokes the fragmented yet organic structure of a cliff face — an abstracted landscape composed of countless elements in constant motion. Up close, the viewer is invited into a microcosm of textures: thickly layered impastos, delicate strokes, and sculpted ridges of pure color. The palette moves through earthy ochres, bright yellows, purples, cool blues, and fiery reds — creating a visual energy that is both raw and lyrical.
This is a unique, one-off composition — edition 1/1 — created through a direct and physical relationship with the materials. The canvas is treated as a living surface where color is not merely applied but constructed, carved, and layered into being. There is no repetition, no digital counterpart — only this singular moment of creation, preserved in paint and gesture.
Courcelles is an artist of international trajectory, widely recognized for his material approach to painting. His works are deeply rooted in the history of abstract expressionism, yet remain utterly contemporary. “Falaise” exemplifies this: it is both an object of contemplation and a celebration of physical presence. The painting radiates authenticity and invites the viewer to return again and again, each time discovering something new.
In excellent condition, the work is substantial and full of presence. The surface is sculptural, with pigment rising from the canvas in a dense topography of movement and light. It is professionally finished, ready to hang, and framed in a way that respects its volume and expressive character. Photographs offer only a glimpse — the true depth and nuance of this piece are best experienced in person.
Ideal for those who value bold materiality and emotionally charged abstraction. “Falaise” is a work that anchors a room — it invites connection, interpretation, and presence. A testament to Courcelles’ dedication to the expressive force of painting, this is a centerpiece with both poetic and physical weight.

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.
