Michèle Caussin-Bellon

Michèle Caussin-Bellon was one of France’s leading pastel artists until an accident forced her to look for a new form of expression. After much research she developed her unique and distinctive style of short, crosshatched brushstrokes of tempera in a palette of earth-toned hues. The resulting canvases span still lifes, portraits, landscapes and nudes, her impressionist-style aesthetic infusing subtle dashes of color and surprising lighting effects into exquisitely executed compositions.

Her particular style of paint application, which she follows with a layer of soap or wax to achieve an unexpected textural effect, privileges light, making every image appear as if it is emerging from a sun-bleached midsummer afternoon. She credits her childhood in the south of France and Algeria for many of her visual instincts, and certainly her paintings’ brightness seems typically Mediterranean. This lends each composition a striking intimacy, as though the viewer were witnessing its emergence from pure light, its accumulation through hundreds of paint daubs. 		Michèle Caussin-Bellon
