Pascal Bouterin

Pascal Bouterin applies paint with a distinctive knife technique, as well as pastels, pen, ink, and pencil. Bouterin's oeuvre sings with a musicality that is both literal and metaphorical, with figures and forms that dance on his canvases like notes across a score. His landscapes whisper of dreams, ethereal and imbued with a subtle, commanding color palette.

Pascal's journey has been one of relentless inspiration and acclaim, making waves in galleries across France, Spain, and at select shows in New York, where his work has consistently sold out. His exhibitions at the Paris Art Festival in the mid-2000s were met with overwhelming success, with over 30 paintings finding new homes at each event. His work, a dialogue between the old world and his unique contemporary lens, offers abstract interpretations that invite viewers into diverse settings, from the cosmopolitan to the pastoral.
His compositions, delicate yet robust, transport us to places that are at once nostalgic and romantic. Bouterin's elegance and refinement are palpable, his oils rich and enveloping, his mixed media works spontaneous yet precise. A haunting mystery pervades his subjects, a testament to the depth and beauty of his vision.
In recent years, Bouterin has explored the color blue, seeking modernity and essence in his work, much like the improvisational spirit of jazz that influences his process. This choice reflects his belief in the foundational role of composition, mirroring the improvisational and momentary beauty found in jazz music.
Pascal Bouterin, a gentle giant in both stature and spirit, draws inspiration from the serene beauty of St. Remy de Provence, where he grew up. His work, much like his personality, exudes a calming, soothing presence, often leaving viewers with a sense of optimism and tranquility.
