COLETTE LARUELLE Artist Statement Painting is not a color-print of the world, such as landscape or scenery, but an initiatory approach, a projection, echoes from a relation with the world, with other people. It is a relation which is endlessly re-examined never to settle, exactly like our own being: an invitation to proceed on the way to meeting oneself, in constant evolution. Painting is related to the sacred. Our being, mine, yours, is the most precious thing to be discovered, the most and the least tangible, elusive, manifold: it is ours far beyond. About Colette Laruelle Colette Laruelle lives in Provence where she was born. She started her artistic career by creating tapestries and fully devoted her talents to painting in the early 80's. Laruelle is a painter who trusts her senses, her inner visions and feelings. She lives and shares the deep feelings and visions of the treasured land of Provence, where the pace of life and the changes are hard to measure. Each Laruelle painting has its own identity and memories. We can feel the energy and pulsations of her surrounding environment. Colette Laruelle is always in harmony with nature, with life. Colette Laruelle is widely collected throughout the world, and has exhibited in Europe for the past three decades. -View Artists- Barkoff, Ira Bocek, Anna Bulan, Stephane Collandre, Francoise Donnat, Alain Duquoc, Jean Gautier, Marie Madeleine Guich, Gemma Kapfer, Bernard Keifer, Kathleen Laruelle, Colette Lee, Kui Dae Magni, Vincent Mendrisse, Louis Miramontes, Isabel Mondot, Bruno Owen, Tjasa Triolet, Jean van Engelenhoven, Lita Agricole, ombres violettes 32x24 Ete 32x32 Gaia terre 26x22 Haute Provence 35x46 Horizons fertiles 32x40 La bastide dans ses terres violettes 32x52 Le foyer 29x24 Le Pays Bleu 37x24 Les ombres violettes 37x26 Lumiere du soir, espoir 29x24 Par les villages 52x39 Pays de lumiere 37x24 Soleil couchant 40x40 Sur le pont d' Avignon 40x32
