Isabelle Gautier

Painting is the Path For Isabelle Gautier painting is an integral part of her life. French-born Isabelle Gautier expresses her emotional bond between nature and herself using strong colors. Gautier grew up in Normandy, just few miles away from the MontSaint-Michel, in western France. The sea and the Normandy bocage remain her inspiration. Most of her acrylic paintings are executed with palette knife to allow the deep pigments of the paint to stay intact. Collectors recognize her abstract style in her minimalistic or impressionistic pieces through her unexpected colorful strokes. Her expressionistic paintings are sought for their strong raw masculine storkes but still feminine thanks to their colors and iridescent golden marks. They are a nice balance between our Yin and Yang. Isabelle Gautier likes to say: “My quest is not to create the illusion of reality but to suggest with colors and composition the inherent nature of the aesthetic object�.
