Catherine Goursolas

Catherine Goursolas is a painter. Her work explores through gesture and color the relationships between form and space with a desire for chromatic minimalism. She seeks to achieve an expression that is both synthetic, solid, evident, and sensitive. Her subject is painting itself, its vibration, its expressiveness, and the space of silence it generates. After studying art history, she began painting in various workshops and then, seeking a more contemporary approach, spent two years in the Bordeaux workshop of artists Deborah B. Bowman and Patrick Marty, where she was able to develop a demanding practice. She then continued her pictorial work alone and began to show it alongside a teaching career. Between 2015 and 2017, she co-managed an associative gallery in Dole (Jura) with another artist, where she has lived since 2015. Since 2019, she has shared a large studio with her partner, also a painter, dedicating herself exclusively to creation and regularly participating in group or solo exhibitions as well as studio openings. She has been invited by a German gallery for a solo exhibition in December 2024.
