For the exhibition Inside, Marc Couturier (born in 1946, lives and works in Paris) was invited to continue his series of drawings entitled Troisième jour [third day] by realizing a monumental mural. This series refers to the Book of Genesis in which, on the third day of Creation, the waters withdraw from the earth on which Nature and vegetation are then created. These pencil drawings flow in one spontaneous and continuous gesture; they are a permanent dialogue between the artist’s intuition and will. And indeed the viewer can apprehend this work through an intuitive approach in which the landscape of Creation’s original surge reveals itself little by little. Majestic and delicate, the piece calls for contemplation and surrender and indicates that poetry exists inside each of us, away from reality. Marc Couturier gathers and collects objects and materials, identifying their poetic potential that he then reveals to the world. Lines and materials form a body of work that relates to monumental sculpture, such as the work Lames which suggests a contemplative relationship to the work of art.
