“Bleu Ciel”, 2025
Mixed media on canvas, edition 1/1
53 × 48 × 3 cm (framed: 70 × 61 cm)
Unique piece – signed by the artist
A sweeping, textural landscape of layered light and movement, “Bleu Ciel” (2025) by Pascal Courcelles is a work of profound materiality and subtle emotional power. In this unique composition, the artist captures the essence of a sky in motion — not through depiction, but through rhythm, gesture, and the physicality of paint itself.
Built with bold impasto and mixed media, the surface becomes almost geological. Thick swirls of sky blue, ivory, and soft turquoise spread across the canvas like drifting clouds or sea currents. Interspersed throughout are moments of brightness — greens, violets, and flashes of yellow — offering contrast and hidden complexity beneath the overall serenity. Seen up close, the surface reveals a rich world of detail, with each peak and valley telling its own story.
“Bleu Ciel” is a one-of-a-kind work, part of Courcelles’ most recent series where the act of painting becomes sculptural. There is no replication — only this singular encounter between hand, color, and canvas. The work is signed and dated, and framed in a deep white box frame that emphasizes its dimensionality while protecting its edges.
This is a piece that speaks to those who value both the force of color and the subtlety of form. Courcelles, whose career spans decades of international exhibitions, has developed a voice that is unmistakably his own — intuitive, bold, and emotionally resonant. In “Bleu Ciel”, he transforms canvas into terrain, color into atmosphere, and paint into presence. It is a contemplative, immersive work that evolves with every glance.
The surface is rich and multidimensional, with peaks of paint that catch light in changing ways. The piece shifts from a distance — appearing like a calm, abstracted landscape — to a close-up field of energy and detail. Its physical presence is striking and its condition pristine. The frame adds elegance and depth, allowing the work to breathe and stand as a centerpiece in any space.
Ideal for those who are drawn to tactile, gestural painting with poetic depth. “Bleu Ciel” offers not just a visual statement, but an atmosphere — a sense of open space, elevation, and quiet intensity. It is both grounded and ethereal, making it a timeless addition to any serious collection.
Pascal Courcelles
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.
In Courcelles’ work, there is a constant search for beauty that does not impose itself, but is patiently and sincerely constructed. “Quand je ferme les yeux, je peins.”
