“Fleur” (2025) is a radiant and emotionally charged painting by Pascal Courcelles, part of his ongoing exploration of color, gesture, and material. Boldly sculptural and profoundly lyrical, this unique piece offers a contemporary take on floral subjects — not as botanical illustrations, but as expressive explosions of texture, color, and emotion.
At the center, a large pink and crimson blossom unfurls across a textured sea of cerulean blue. Surrounding it, lush strokes of green, yellow, and orange swirl like leaves caught in motion. The surface itself is alive with dimensionality — thick impastos and embedded materials that give the work a powerful tactile presence. This is not a flat painting, but a living composition where color emerges from the depth of matter.
“Fleur” is a one-of-a-kind creation (edition 1/1), made on a hand-prepared wooden support and signed on the reverse by the artist. The back of the work, fully painted and inscribed by Courcelles, reads “Hope Rose”, suggesting both the title’s poetic resonance and the emotional intent behind the piece. This direct intervention by the artist on both sides of the work adds to its authenticity and collectibility.
Courcelles’ work is internationally recognized for its materiality and depth. He transforms everyday subjects — like a flower — into something elemental and spiritual. This piece belongs to a recent cycle of paintings where organic forms, thick textures, and luminous pigments merge in total harmony. It is a singular gesture of beauty and strength.
In perfect condition, “Fleur” feels more like a painted relief than a traditional canvas. The paint has weight, volume, and movement — as if blooming directly from the surface. Even without framing, the edges are treated with care, and the work is ready to hang. Every angle reveals a new detail, from swirling brushwork to subtle tonal shifts, creating a constant sense of discovery.
This piece is ideal for collectors who are drawn to works that combine presence, poetic charge, and material boldness. “Fleur” brings nature into the realm of the abstract, offering an experience that is both meditative and intensely physical. It stands as a testament to Pascal Courcelles’ unique ability to make painting not only something we see, but something we feel.
