A radiant composition that seems to bloom from the surface itself, “Miniature” (2024) by Pascal Courcelles is a vivid testimony to the expressive power of pure color and matter. Despite its small size, this painting commands attention with a dynamic surface that invites close observation and slow contemplation.
Composed of thick, sculptural layers of oil paint on wood, the work evokes the tactile energy of Courcelles’ creative process. Each color — from brilliant orange to soft lavender, deep crimson to luminous yellow — is applied with a sense of immediacy and intention. The palette shifts between contrasts and harmonies, creating a visual rhythm that is both spontaneous and composed.

This is a one-of-a-kind creation, not part of a series or edition. It belongs to a recent body of work where Courcelles explores the condensed intensity of the “Miniature” format, intimate works that reflect the emotional and physical gesture of painting in its rawest form. No digital reproduction or print can replicate the relief, texture, and movement present in the original.

The strength of this work lies in its authenticity. Each brushstroke is a gesture frozen in time, each layer a trace of the artist’s hand. Courcelles is a painter with decades of international exhibition experience, known for his material approach and poetic use of color. This piece exemplifies his ability to balance spontaneity with control, creating a surface that feels both alive and resolved.

The painting is in perfect condition, professionally framed in a white shadow box that enhances its sculptural presence and protects the edges of the work. It is signed and ready to display. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, it reveals new visual and textural details with every glance.

Ideal for those who appreciate bold materiality, intuitive color, and the presence of the artist’s gesture. This work integrates seamlessly into a contemporary collection, bringing a spark of movement and depth to any space. It’s a contemplative piece, small in size, vast in impact.
