Unique piece, signed by the artist
Poupées by Pascal Courcelles is a vibrant and tactile mixed media sculpture that captures the artist’s deeply sensorial approach to color, matter, and form. This unique piece stands as a powerful example of Courcelles’ ongoing exploration of painting as a living, three-dimensional presence. It is not merely a sculpture — it is painting in volume, where the surface breathes with movement, emotion, and energy.
The work presents four vertical forms emerging from a textured base, richly covered in thick, layered pigment. Bursting with orange, green, turquoise, violet, and crimson, the material vibrates with spontaneity. What makes Poupées especially striking are the porcelain doll heads subtly embedded within the color fields — like memories half-buried in matter, poetic fragments of human presence peeking through chaos and color.
The surface has a deliberately raw finish, faithful to the artist’s expressive technique. The base is solid and stable, suitable for display on a pedestal or art plinth.
Courcelles, born in Brussels in 1956, studied at the Institut Saint-Luc and has exhibited internationally in Belgium, Italy, Japan, and Lebanon. His visual language has been compared to Michel Frère and Riopelle — always rooted in a physical, intuitive relationship with color.
Perfect for collectors seeking artworks that blur the line between painting and sculpture, this is a one-of-a-kind piece — edition 1/1, directly from the artist’s studio. It invites slow contemplation, revealing new textures, faces, and chromatic harmonies from every angle. For those who value expressive materiality and emotionally charged gestures, Poupées is a compelling and original addition to any collection.

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.
