Catherine Goursolas

Catherine Goursolas is a painter. Her abstract work invites the viewer to enter a pictorial space made of layers that are more or less transparent, laid down flat on the canvas. She explores, through gesture and color, the relationships between form and space. The paint, often quite fluid for speed and lightness of execution, is made in the studio with pigments and acrylic resins. After studying art history, she began to practice art, particularly painting. In 1995, seeking a critical eye on her work and a more contemporary approach, she spent two years in the studio of artists Deborah B. Bowman and Patrick Marty, where she was able to develop a demanding practice. She then continued her pictorial work alone and started to show it. Later, she became involved in various projects (associative gallery, art festival) to defend and promote contemporary painting and engraving. Since 2019, she shares a large studio with her partner, who is also a painter, and regularly participates in exhibitions and studio openings.
