"The paintings and prints of Pierre Coupey are hugely pleasurable to look at and to contemplate. He brings such a breadth and depth of experience, understanding, looking, and thinking to his work." more
"A fundamental fact of Coupey’s practice is his focus on the language of abstraction. He is resolutely committed to an inquiry and understanding of experience –– of form and space –– through the process of painting. As artist and theorist Ian Wallace has pointed out, 'Abstract art has always had an ambivalent relation to what can be said about it. Interpretation is simultaneously demanded and refused.' Coupey’s abstractions refuse reductive interpretation. Rather, they present us with the urgency of felt experience, and require that we respond with our own personal sense of engagement and feeling.” more
