Pascal Courcelles – Poupées, 2024
Mixed media sculpture – 30 x 15 x 17 cm (11.8 x 5.9 x 6.7 in)
Unique piece, signed by the artist

Poupées by Pascal Courcelles is a vibrant and tactile mixed media sculpture that captures the artist’s deeply sensorial approach to color, matter, and form. This unique piece stands as a powerful example of Courcelles’ ongoing exploration of painting as a living, three-dimensional presence. It is not merely a sculpture — it is painting in volume, where the surface breathes with movement, emotion, and energy.
The work presents four vertical forms emerging from a textured base, richly covered in thick, layered pigment. Bursting with orange, green, turquoise, violet, and crimson, the material vibrates with spontaneity. What makes Poupées especially striking are the porcelain doll heads subtly embedded within the color fields — like memories half-buried in matter, poetic fragments of human presence peeking through chaos and color.
The surface has a deliberately raw finish, faithful to the artist’s expressive technique. The base is solid and stable, suitable for display on a pedestal or art plinth.
Courcelles, born in Brussels in 1956, studied at the Institut Saint-Luc and has exhibited internationally in Belgium, Italy, Japan, and Lebanon. His visual language has been compared to Michel Frère and Riopelle — always rooted in a physical, intuitive relationship with color.
Perfect for collectors seeking artworks that blur the line between painting and sculpture, this is a one-of-a-kind piece — edition 1/1, directly from the artist’s studio. It invites slow contemplation, revealing new textures, faces, and chromatic harmonies from every angle. For those who value expressive materiality and emotionally charged gestures, Poupées is a compelling and original addition to any collection.
