Style and technique of artist René Coutelle

The career of René Coutelle

René Coutelle was born in the Sarthe region of France in 1927. Very few details are known about his life.

The artist Coutelle sculpts by giving free rein to his inspiration, working with materials that carry within them a force guided by what he calls "their right feeling". He also mentions that in the arts of the Caribbean, Africa and Cambodia, as well as in novelistic literature, he discovers a simple form of poetry that enables him to express and suggest primitive, natural beauty through sculpted forms. These forms exude a particular harmony, fullness, density and precision. His sculptures seem to animate a deep, sincere aura that resonates in perfect harmony with his artistic language.

With discretion, he explores original inner impulses and transposes them into forms that seek to unfold in space, translating an upward dynamic that characterizes his artistic work. His favorite themes, such as Torsos, Couples and Birds, allow for a simultaneous transformation of bodies. The curves of her sculptures release a vital momentum that encourages metamorphosis, capturing natural movements in frozen forms. The sculpted forms seem to follow gentle, subtle undulations, having a certain echo with the sculptures of Igor Mitoraj.
