 Céline CHOURLET was born in 1969
in the surroundings of Paris. She used to draw and paint as a child, in
particular in her father’s marvellous garden filled with a large variety
of flowers and vegetables. The first exhibition of her work took place
when she was 16 year old. At 18, CHOURLET moved to Provence. She quickly
felt fascinated by the light and colours of the region. During that time,
CHOURLET exhibited her work in TOULON and CASSIS. She then decided to
move to Britanny where she met Jean-François DUCOS. Jean-François bought
a few coloured paintings and helped CHOURLET by introducing her to gallery
owners who rapidly sold the works she had produced. She then moved to
a larger place close by LORIENT to pursue her work. In 1991, Céline CHOURLET
and Jean-François DUCOS partnered to open a CHOURLET permanent gallery
in PONT-AVEN. Two years later, given the success of the first gallery,
they opened a new art gallery in Paris located at n°4 PLACE DES VOSGES
and expanded to n°2 PLACE DES VOSGES in 1996. Céline CHOURLET worked on
the Ile-de-Ré in 1997 and 1998. Additional galleries were opened in LUXEMBOURG
(1998) and VENCE (1999). There also was a large CHOURLET exhibition in
TOKYO in October 2000. Another permanent CHOURLET gallery should open
soon in NEW-YORK. |
