On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Atelier Pièce Unique, its founder, the artist Cécile Coutant reveals a selection of her works. She invites the public to discover her intimate universe with paintings, drawings and sculptures evoking a world that is both natural and dreamlike. Each piece radiates intense and sensual vitality. The exhibition takes the viewer on a beautiful journey between emotion and abstraction.
You may not know it, but Cécile Coutant, founder of Atelier Pièce Unique, is also a painter and sculptor. If she put this artistic career on hold, it is to devote herself with passion and generosity to other artists whom she invites us to discover in her gallery in Fourqueux. But the 20th anniversary of the Atelier Pièce Unique is an opportunity for her to show the public a selection of her works in various techniques: paintings, drawings and sculptures. Stylized female and male nudes, unstructured portraits, baroque animals, dreamlike or poetic scenes: we discover flamboyant works with an energetic touch. The artist’s style is part of a vibrant expressionism, tinged with abstraction. Strong lines and bold colors are intended to convey emotions rather than faithfully represent reality. The emphasis is on the intensity of expression and texture, which bring depth to the work. In an intuitive and spontaneous approach, Cécile Coutant seeks confrontation with form, not hesitating to cause accidents in her compositions to recover at the last minute. Thus, through this exhibition, she invites us to discover her intimate universe, where the unexpected and emotion meet to give birth to unique works.
