Arlette COURNOLLET

Criticism

Painting is not a question of academic merit, and not always of technique, but very often of talent and constantly of love. However many awards and flattering prizes Arlette Cournollet may have won at exhibitions and salons, the fact remains that her works represent her deep love of others. And she effortlessly puts this pure feeling into colours on canvas with the help of all possible techniques, which she subjugates to her ardour without difficulty. Her works, and particularly her portraits and beings, reflect the energy of her nature and the delicious indifference with which she reproduces realism and impression. She expresses herself with a savage eloquence that draws its startling sap from the core of the rudimentary composition. With raw colours and strokes, Arlette Cournollet brings crowds back to life and wrests out the profound character of her models and faces, which feel astonishingly alive.
