Couple
1983
"Couple" by Jean-Charles Blais exemplifies the artist's distinctive technique of layering gouache and collage onto torn poster fragments, creating a dynamic interplay between figuration and abstraction. The work showcases Blais's characteristic gestural approach, where expressive brushwork and the raw materiality of recycled posters converge to suggest human forms in intimate proximity. By incorporating found materials and urban detritus, the artist transforms ephemeral street imagery into a meditation on human connection and the traces of everyday life.
