Composition 431 (2016) Painting by Hélène Courset

Hélène Courset is a contemporary French artist with roots in Yvelines, where she spent her formative years. From an early age, she harbored a deep passion for drawing and painting, which eventually evolved into a professional practice spanning over 30 years.

Initially drawn to figurative art, Courset's work focused on the human body as her primary source of inspiration during the first decade of her career. However, she later made a definitive shift towards radical abstraction, embracing a wholly abstract approach to her artistic expression.

Courset's extensive travels and experiences abroad, particularly in Africa, the West Indies, and Oceania, have significantly influenced her artistic vision. Immersed in diverse cultures, she developed a graphic style characterized by subtle suggestions of drawing, which remain ever-present in her work.

Through her exploration of abstraction, Courset developed a distinct style known as 'Rhythmic,' characterized by repetitive graphic rhythms. Often rendered in black and white, with occasional bursts of color, her abstract compositions aim to capture and translate visual sensations in a dynamic and expressive manner.

With each brushstroke, Hélène Courset invites viewers into a world where the boundaries between form and abstraction blur, creating an immersive experience that resonates with the rhythmic pulse of life itself.
