Pascal Courcelles
Grand Bleu, 2025

2025

About the Item

“Grand Bleu”, 2025 Mixed media on canvas, edition 1/1 120 × 200 cm / 47.2 × 78.4 in Unique piece – signed by the artist “Grand Bleu” (2025) is an expansive and immersive work by Pascal Courcelles — a luminous ocean of color and gesture that evokes both tranquility and intensity. This one-of-a-kind painting is a celebration of the expressive potential of matter and movement, composed in Courcelles’ unmistakable language of layered color and sculptural paintwork. With its wide panoramic format, the work opens like a horizon. The dominant presence of blue in all its tonalities — from glacier to indigo, sky to seafoam — is punctuated by bursts of rose, lemon, ivory, lilac, and emerald. Each hue is placed in thick impasto, applied not just with brushes but also by hand and palette knife, sculpting the paint into ridges, crests, and valleys. It is a work that lives in motion — like waves stirred by invisible wind. “Grand Bleu” is a unique, signed work (edition 1/1), created through a fully intuitive process. The painting was built gradually, layer after layer, without preliminary drawing or imposed composition. The freedom of its making is reflected in the fluidity of the final result. There is no reproduction, no copy — only this singular encounter between matter and vision. This is a major piece by an established artist with decades of international presence. Large-scale works like this one offer a complete immersion into Courcelles’ pictorial universe, where the act of painting becomes both meditation and gesture. “Grand Bleu” has the capacity to transform a space — not by dominating it, but by inviting the viewer into a state of contemplation and openness. In excellent condition, this mixed media work is tactile and dimensional — the surface catches the light differently depending on time of day and viewing angle. From a distance, it radiates calm and balance. Up close, the complexity of its micro-textures and color interactions becomes mesmerizing. It is professionally stretched, unframed, and ready to hang. Ideal for those who value scale, materiality, and nuance, “Grand Bleu” is both a visual statement and an emotional space. It connects deeply to nature — sky, sea, wind, cloud — without directly depicting it. It is an invitation to lose oneself in color, to rediscover the pleasure of looking slowly, attentively, freely.
